Nigerian billionaire businessman and founder of Jezco Oil and Jezco Group, Sir Joseph Eze Okafor, has reportedly been abducted in Anambra State.
Okafor, who is also the father of Nigerian Instagram celebrity Jowizaza, was allegedly abducted last week while praying on a mountain in Awka, according to lawyer Chukwudi Iwuchukwu.
Iwuchukwu made the disclosure in a Facebook post on Sunday, claiming that the businessman had gone to the mountain alone to pray without his security details and police personnel attached to him.
According to him, Okafor was allegedly abducted by unidentified gunmen during the prayer session and taken to an unknown location.
The reported abduction has reportedly thrown the businessman’s community, Ekwulobia, into confusion and mourning.
Iwuchukwu described Okafor as the richest man from the community, adding that the significance of his influence was reflected in the community’s reported decision to postpone its annual New Yam Festival.
He said the festival, which had never been postponed before, was put on hold because community members felt it would be inappropriate to celebrate while the family of their “illustrious son” was dealing with the reported abduction.
