The family of Anambra-born industrialist and billionaire businessman, Sir Joseph Ezeokafor has come out to throw more light on the abduction of their patriarch and father, who is currently spending his 7th night in the hands of the kidnappers who kidnapped him last week, Tuesday.
1) He was kidnapped from a remote Catholic prayer ground, Precious blood prayer ministry ground, located at Ifite, Awka, Anambra State, by dare armed gunmen who stormed the prayer ground at exactly 2:00 am Tuesday last week.
2) He was the financier who financed the construction of the prayer house and the access roads that lead to the prayer ground as part of his contribution to the Catholic church that he loves so much.
3) Sir Joseph Ezeokafor is a humble, devout and pious man who loves God so much, and so every month, he visits the Catholic prayer ground without his security details attached to him because he believes so much in his heart that the holy prayer ground should not be littered with security details.
4) Last Tuesday was not his first time visiting the prayer ground; he visits every month, quietly and without fanfare, to communicate with his God, the God that changed his life as an orphan, because that is the only way he understands that it should be done.
5) Contrary to the rumours spreading out there, he has not been released, and the kidnappers have not even established contact with the family who are sick and worried about the health of their patriarch, who is without his high blood pressure medication.
6) Sir Joseph Ezeokafor is the founder and the CEO of Jezco Oil, an integrated energy business that is involved in the following businesses:
Jezco filling station, a downstream business involved in the business of selling fuel and diesel with a presence all over the country
Jezco lubricant, his engine oil brand which is very popular in the east
And then Jezco trading, his trading arm that is into the importation of base oil, a very important commodity and raw material needed for the production of engine oil which they sell to popular lubricant manufacturers in the country.
He is also the father of Jowizaza, a popular Instagram celebrity.
7) A very kind and good man was kidnapped while he was on his knees, seeking the face of the giver of life, the almighty God.
I join my faith with the family.
By God's grace, he will come home alive without any scratches.
The God we serve will do it
