Jowizaza’s Billionaire Father Reportedly Kidnapped on Mountain While Praying Alone in Anambra

• Sir Joseph Ezeokafor, founder of Jezco Oil and Jezco Group and father of Jowizaza, has reportedly been abducted while praying alone on a mountain in Awka, Anambra State.
• The report has sparked reactions online, with some questioning his decision to go without security while others expressed hope that he would regain his freedom.

Nigerian billionaire businessman and Jezco Group founder, Sir Joseph Ezeokafor, has reportedly been abducted by unidentified gunmen in Anambra State.

Ezeokafor, who is the father of Instagram celebrity Jowizaza, was reportedly kidnapped last week while praying alone on a mountain in Awka.

Lawyer Chukwudi Iwuchukwu disclosed the incident in a Facebook post on Sunday, alleging that the businessman had gone to the mountain without his usual security details and police personnel.

According to Iwuchukwu, the gunmen reportedly abducted Ezeokafor during the prayer session and took him to an unknown location.

The reported incident has caused concern in Ekwulobia, his community, where Ezeokafor is regarded as one of the wealthiest residents.

Iwuchukwu also claimed that the community’s annual New Yam Festival was postponed because residents felt it would be inappropriate to celebrate while the family of their “illustrious son” was dealing with the reported abduction.

Social media users have since reacted to the development, with some focusing on the businessman’s decision to go to the mountain without security.

@Constance Nkeiruka Nwoko: “Pray?

I don’t understand.
