Chief Joseph Ezeokafor, an esteemed businessman and Chairman of Jezco Group, was kidnapped by unknown individuals. His daughter, Blessing Ezeokafor, daughter of the victim, has accused her younger brother, Jowizaza Ezeokafor, also known as Jowizaza, for causing their father's kidnapping. Blessing claims that Jowizaza's extravagant lifestyle on social media, which she deems falsely portrayed, led the kidnappers to believe that the family was wealthy, and consequently increased the ransom from N700 million to N1.5 billion.
In her numerous social media posts, Blessing revealed that her family was not as affluent as Jowizaza displayed and that they were already in debt. She also criticized critics who urged her not to come online and expose her brother's lifestyle, stating that he had agreed to pay kidnappers N700 million, which led to the kidnappers increasing the ransom to N1.5 billion.
Blessing questioned how her brother could have accepted such a large sum and explained that he does not possess N100 million in liquid cash. She emphasized that her brother's constant noise on social media led the kidnappers to believe that the family had financial resources, which ultimately contributed to the situation. Blessing directly addressed the kidnappers, stating that they are "swimming in debt" and that the family's financial condition should not be a concern for them.
She urged the kidnappers to leave her father alone and to release him, as the family is deeply in debt.
