Kidnappers of Anambra Billionaire Businessman, Jezco Demand N1.5bn Ransom
Kidnappers raised their ransom demand from N700 million as the family struggled to reopen contact, sources said.
- Kidnappers holding Jezco Group Chairman Chief Sir Joseph Ezeokafor have increased their ransom demand to N1.5 billion, according to reports. Arise News reported he was abducted early on Tuesday after leaving his residence for a prayer ground without security details.
- The abductors initially demanded N700 million, a figure the family reportedly accepted in an attempt to secure his release. This opening position preceded the subsequent escalation to the higher ransom demand.
- Communication between the family and the abductors has since broken down, despite the family's willingness to continue negotiations. Efforts to re-establish contact with the captors have proven unsuccessful, leaving negotiations stalled.
- The Anambra State Police Command and state government authorities have remained silent about a week after the incident, with neither entity publicly commenting on the abduction or investigation status.
- Uncertainty persists regarding Ezeokafor's current whereabouts as efforts to secure his release remain stalled. The family faces an increasingly difficult timeline for his return without active communication channels with the abductors.
