AWKA — As Sir Joseph Ezeokafor, the renowned Anambra-born industrialist and founder of the Jezco Group, spends his harrowing 10th night in the den of kidnappers, a massive storm is brewing on his home front. The billionaire patriarch, who was violently abducted last Tuesday while on his knees seeking the face of God at Ifite Awka, is now the center of a shocking family meltdown.
In a dramatic twist that has set social media ablaze, the patriarch’s first child and oldest daughter, Blessing Ezeokafor, has publicly called out her younger brother, Instagram celebrity Eberechukwu, popularly known as Jowizaza.
In a series of blistering rants on her personal Facebook page, Blessing who is a Madonna University-trained lawyer, heaped the entirety of the blame for their father’s kidnapping on her brother’s exaggerated online lifestyle, exposing deep financial craters within the family’s empire that the public never knew existed.
The “Audio Money” Allegations
According to Blessing, the jaw-dropping wealth Jowizaza flashes across Instagram is nothing but a facade.
She alleged that her family is nowhere near as wealthy as her brother portrays to his millions of followers, branding his lifestyle as a “fake life” built on “audio money.” Blessing claims that this reckless projection of exaggerated wealth placed a massive target squarely on their father’s back.
While Jowizaza paints the internet red with luxury, Blessing described their father as a quiet, humble 72-year-old man whose sole devotion is serving God, far removed from the dangerous, unnecessary social media scrutiny his son brought to their doorstep.
Financial Ruin and a Sacked Director
The most damaging of Blessing’s revelations centered on the precarious financial reality of the Jezco Group.
She alleged that Jowizaza’s reckless lifestyle has driven their father’s once-thriving business into the ground, leaving the company facing bankruptcy. In a shocking corporate disclosure, she claimed:
- The Jezco Group currently owes FCMB a staggering 40 Billion Naira loan that remains unpaid.
- Another key corporate bank account is entirely frozen due to these mounting, unpaid debts.
- To save the Jezco empire from total liquidation, their father had no choice but to strip Jowizaza of his directorship.
- Following his removal, the Instagram star was reportedly placed on a strict monthly allowance of just 1 Million Naira.
The N1.5 Billion Ransom Question
The financial bombshells raise terrifying questions about the ongoing ransom negotiations. According to Blessing, the kidnappers initially demanded N700 million but have since cruelly hiked the price to a staggering N1.5 Billion.
Questioning the sheer logic of the situation, Blessing challenged her brother’s ability to save their father. She alleged that despite his flashy online persona, Jowizaza cannot legitimately boast of N100 million in liquid cash today.
“Where will he get the money from?” she questioned in her emotional outburst. “Is it from the 1 million Naira monthly allowance he receives?”
A Plea for Mercy
Concluding her explosive rants, Blessing begged the kidnappers to release her elderly father, reiterating that he is an innocent man suffering the violent consequences of his son’s fake Instagram life.
For us at ABT NEWS (www.abtnews.net), the ultimate concern remains the safety and immediate release of Sir Joseph Ezeokafor. These damning revelations certainly change the narrative, but one crucial question remains: Will this public exposure of the family’s crippling debt force the kidnappers to reduce their ransom demands?
Whatever the financial realities of the Ezeokafor family may be, Sir Joseph is a fragile, 72-year-old man who has been held for over a week without his vital High Blood Pressure medication. The kidnappers must look past the social media illusions and release this elderly man to his family.
