Tension In Anambra Community Over Kidnap Allegation

Tension has gripped the indigenes of the Ezinano Awka community in Awka South local government area, Anambra State, over an allegation of kidnap levelled against one of their illustrious sons, Ozo Jeff Nweke.
Chief executive officer (CEO) of Mango and Lion Properties Ltd, Ozo Nweke, was dragged to Anambra High Court, Awka, with Charge No: AWK/6c/2025, along with some others of kidnapping one Benjamin Ezemma, vice chairman of Dubai Estate on November 12, 2024.

However, the allegation raised dust among the indigenes of Awka community, saying that the enemies of Ozo Nweke have decided to explore this means in order to get rid of their son and acquire their ancestral lands.

Speaking to journalists yesterday in Awka, the leader of the Ezinano community, Chief Arinze Ekelem, said that all the allegations are tissues of lies fabricated by the enemies of Jeff Nweke in order to have free conquest of their community lands.

According to him. “I don’t think their accusation is right because Ozo Jeff Nweke is above what they are accusing him. I am not ignorant of what they are saying in social media which all are mere frame up. However, the security operatives have a lot to do, concerning this.

“I have heard a lot of stories about the person in question, the CEO of Durbai Estate, regarding some problems he was having with his friends, customers, and business partners. Actually, I don’t know him one-on-one, but sincerely speaking, Ozo Jeff cannot engage in such dirty things because everybody knows what he can do.

“In as much as I don’t know him,  I have heard much about him, concerning his good relationship with Ezinano people. We have never quarrelled with him. So, having a cordial relationship with the Ezinano community, what then would prompt an indigene of Ezinano  to start thinking of doing anything bad to the man?

“Nevertheless, security operatives are doing a great job of unraveling the secret because even if a mad person wrote a petition against someone, the DSS must definitely act, after investigation and eventually discovered that the accused is innocent, the person will be set free.

” In other words, where they found the suspect to be innocent and still kept him in detention, I think it doesn’t make any sense. Security operatives in Anambra state are trying their best.

” I think the way we should make it clear to the public that Ozo Jeff Nweke is not that type is to know how to put a good notice to Anambra State Government, police, DSS, amongst others that Jeff is not the type of person that should be associated with such evil,” he said.

Collaborating,  another community leader from Ezinano, Chief Richard Onuorah noted that Jeff Nweke has never been involved in any criminal engagement rather he is the Taskforce Chairman of Ezinano.
