Nigerian billionaire Joseph Eze Okafor, founder of Jezco Oil and Jezco Group, reportedly kidnapped last week in Anambra State. The businessman, father of Instagram star Jowizaza, was allegedly abducted while praying on a mountain in Awka, according to lawyer Chukwudi Iwuchukwu. Iwuchukwu revealed the kidnapping on Facebook, stating that Okafor had gone to the mountain alone, without security or police protection.
Iwuchukwu noted that the businessman was seized by unidentified gunmen during his prayer session and transported to an undisclosed location. The reported abduction has caused widespread confusion and mourning in Okafor's community of Ekwulobia, which has postponed its annual New Yam Festival out of respect for the "illustrious son."
