The City Boy Movement has suspended Halimat Adenike
Tejuosho, south-west zonal coordinator of the women wing of the movement,
following the wanted notice published by the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC).
On Monday, EFCC declared Tejuosho wanted over an alleged
case of obtaining money by false pretence.
The anti-graft agency said Tejuosho, 41, is wanted in
connection with an ongoing investigation into fraud-related offences.
Tejuosho had previously been on the radar of the EFCC over
an alleged appointment and contract scam.
In June 2025, the commission interrogated her following
complaints that she obtained money from victims under the guise of securing
federal government jobs and lucrative contracts.
The businesswoman, said to be the founder of Haleems
Integrated Services Limited, was accused of running a scheme involving fake
appointment letters and forged documents to convince victims of her claims.
She was previously granted administrative bail after being
questioned by the EFCC, with the agency saying investigations were ongoing at
the time.
THE SUSPENSION
In a statement released by the management, the movement said
Tejuosho has been suspended pending the “full conclusion and resolution of the
matter by the relevant authorities”.
The movement said the decision was reached to protect its
image and ethical standards.
“It is also intended to ensure that the ongoing process is
allowed to proceed without interference, obstruction, or undue influence,” the
statement reads.
“The City Boy Movement wishes to make it unequivocally clear
that it maintains a zero-tolerance stance against misconduct, criminality, or
any act capable of bringing the organization into disrepute.
“Every official of the Movement is expected to uphold the
highest standards of character, responsibility, and public conduct.
“The Movement remains resolute in its mission to promote
responsible leadership, national development, transparency, and public trust at
all levels of its structure.”
