The City Boy Movement has slammed an indefinite suspension on its south-west women leader, Halimat Adenike Tejuosho, following her declaration as wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The anti-graft agency had, on Monday, declared Tejuosho wanted over an alleged case of obtaining money by false pretence, linking the 41-year-old to an ongoing fraud investigation.
Investigations revealed that Tejuosho had earlier been under EFCC scrutiny over an alleged appointment and contract scam. In June 2025, she was interrogated after multiple complaints accused her of collecting money from victims under the guise of securing federal government jobs and lucrative contracts.
The businesswoman, reportedly the founder of Haleems Integrated Services Limited, was accused of operating a scheme involving fake appointment letters and forged documents to convince unsuspecting victims. She was previously granted administrative bail while investigations continued.
**Movement Moves to Protect Image**
Reacting swiftly, the movement announced her suspension pending the outcome of investigations, stressing that the move was necessary to safeguard its integrity and allow due process.
“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.”
