The City Boy Movement has suspended Mrs. Tejuosho from her position as South-West Zonal Coordinator of its Women Wing following a publication by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) declaring her wanted. The decision takes immediate effect and will remain in place while authorities complete their review of the matter.
EFCC Notice Triggers Immediate Suspension
In a statement signed by its management, the group said the step was taken to safeguard its reputation and maintain internal standards. It described the move as a routine administrative action aimed at allowing due process to run its course without interference. The statement read: "Consequently, and in line with the Movement's unwavering commitment to integrity, discipline, accountability, and respect for the rule of law, we hereby announce the immediate suspension of Mrs. Tejuosho from her office as South-West Zonal Coordinator, Women Wing, with effect from today, pending the full conclusion and resolution of the matter by the relevant authorities."
Organisation Emphasises Due Process
Officials stressed that the suspension does not imply guilt. They noted it is necessary to protect the organisation's credibility while the issue is being examined. The Movement reiterated its stance on misconduct, stating that any behaviour capable of damaging its image would not be condoned. Members were reminded of their obligation to uphold strong ethical conduct.
Tejuosho's Previous EFCC Cases
This is not the first time Tejuosho has faced scrutiny over alleged fraud-related activities. In June 2025, the EFCC questioned her in connection with an alleged appointment and contract scam. Investigators examined claims that she obtained money from victims by promising federal jobs and contracts. Her legal counsel at the time said she had been granted bail while inquiries continued. The EFCC also indicated that charges could follow as the probe progressed.
Broader Context: Malami and EFCC
In a related development, former Attorney General of the Federation Abubakar Malami called on the current chairman of the EFCC to recuse himself from his investigation. Malami demanded that the EFCC chairman step aside, claiming he was being witch-hunted over his defection from the ruling APC to the ADC. Additionally, EFCC operatives sealed Malami's Maitama residence in Abuja, taking steps to assume control of the property. Officials led by Folarin Dare arrived at the residence in several buses and restricted access to the area.
