The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has secured a court order to detain the Chief Executive Officer of Sujimoto Construction, Sijibomi Ogundele, over an alleged N5.7 billion contract fraud.
The case is linked to the construction of 22 “Smart Green Schools” in Enugu State.
As part of the investigation, EFCC has frozen Ogundele’s personal and company accounts and seized his international passport.
Reports also indicate that he was initially denied legal access and subjected to restricted access to food and water while in custody.
The commission said the detention was necessary to complete ongoing investigations into the matter.
