Big Ben: Anambra Arraigns Jeff Nweke, Others Over Abduction Of Businessman by InfoGuru118(op): 7:33pm On Feb 19, 2025
The disappearance of Mr. Benjamin “Big Ben” Ezenma, a top Real estate developer and businessman in Anambra state has sparked widespread concern, yet the focus has dangerously shifted from finding him to using digital platforms to spreading unverified claims, distracting from the critical mission at hand bringing Big Ben home safely

News360 Nigeria reports that after DSS Investigation, sources claimed that Big Ben was last seen after attending a scheduled meeting with Mr. Jeff Nweke, an influential Awka indigene, in a bid to resolve an ongoing land dispute. Mr. Nweke’s interest in the land led to a dispute, prompting Big Ben to engage in dialogue to find an amicable resolution.

The meeting occurred at Mr. Nweke’s office at Mango and Lion Office, Awka, and since then, Big Ben has not been seen or heard from. His family, friends, and business associates remain deeply concerned about his well-being.

It is deeply disturbing that, instead of focusing on locating Big Ben and uniting him with his family, certain individuals have resorted to spreading baseless accusations against the family and associates of Big Ben

The Anambra State Ministry of Justice after all evidence and investigation by DSS has charged the three suspects for kidnap, Conspiracy and Felony at the High Court Awka, Charge No: AWK/6C/2025, has named three defendants: Jeff Nweke, Tochukwu Nwosu, and David Chukwunonso. Surprisingly, the three defendants are still walking free.

On February 11, 2025, the case was scheduled for its first hearing at Awka High Court 1, but due to the court not sitting, it was adjourned to February 20, 2025. However, a glaring issue arose—Mr. Jeff Nweke and his security officer, David Chukwunonso, failed to appear in court. They have also evaded arrest despite an existing charge sheet filed by the State.

Their absence raises critical questions:

Why have the key defendants refused to submit themselves to the law?
What is the reason behind their deliberate avoidance of court proceedings?

If they are innocent, why attempt to shift focus through misleading accusations instead of cooperating with the investigation?

Instead of facing justice, where Anambra state government have charged Jeff and his accomplice for conspiracy to commit felony and kidnapping which are contrary to Section 495(a) and Section 315(2) respectively of the Criminal Code Cap 36 Revised Laws of Anambra State 1991, Jeff Nweke and his associates use social media to twist the narrative, painting him as a philanthropist while evading the law.

Justice belongs in the courtroom, not in manipulated online debates.
Big Ben’s disappearance is too serious for distractions. The public, security agencies, and key stakeholders must remain focused—finding Big Ben and ensuring those responsible are held accountable.

Ozo Jeff Nweke, CEO of Mango and Lion Properties, was arraigned in Anambra High Court over the alleged kidnapping of Benjamin Ezenma ("Big Ben"wink, Vice Chairman of Dubai Estate, who disappeared on November 12, 2024. Nweke appeared with an ambulance/wheelchair and claimed illness to avoid detention pending trial. Reports say CCTV footage showed Big Ben entering his office before disappearing—and that Nweke destroyed the footage when asked by authorities. Community reactions are mixed, with some calling the allegations a frame-up linked to local land disputes.

Please tell us what they are doing in Asaba and Ogwashi Uku.
Tell us also why you used the words “Igbo fools”.
Don't take my word for it. Just find your way to Asaba, head straight to headquarters, and ask the police officers for the identity of recently caught kidnappers. If I am lying, come here and say.

You could also look at the case of this lawmaker kidnapped on the 24th of December last year.

All of them but one are from the East, yet they came to hide here in Asaba—making the cost of living high for the average household—as they spend their ill-gotten money.

I blame the useless governor who doesn't want to use a hard hand on these 8gbo pigs, and useless Ned Nwoko who wants to add us to the east.

That Jeff sef na murderer on to land matter since. This guy should not have honoured that invitation alone.. normal way to handle Jeff na with entourage for neutral friend because him na strong man.
Re: Big Ben: Anambra Arraigns Jeff Nweke, Others Over Abduction Of Businessman by ElevationD: 8:03pm On Feb 19, 2025
Since there is a charge sheet and they are not appearing yet, is it not appropriate to have them arrested, detained and brought to court?

Anambra people

The rate you are kidnapping and assassinating yourself,
Your house of representatives and Senators are not calling for a state of security emergency
You go home to visit and you have more security than Vladimir Putin
Nobody is addressing this issue headlong....
Flagrant display of wealth without verifiable source of income...
Its so bad, i am always careful around my friends that have a lot of money and i don't know what you do....How am i sure you are not a kidnapper...I will not wait till you learn my movements and kidnap me.

The government has to step in. Organize a confab on South East Security,with stakeholders not noisemakers or political wannabe's. They should seat down and hash out. How to make the southeast safer.

And someone who claimed to be Igbo man has be the only political leader in SE who sees nothing wrong in SE insecurity headaches and pretend as if nothing happen untill the entire SE is wipe out and this same evil man is busy lighting candle for a dead man in Lagos and his own home is under fire burning with killings, ritualist, abduction, intimidation, arsons etc.

I asked again and again DNA need to be done on him his body langue did not only show one of his ancestor is not igbo but his body language to anything SE shows he is likely never have any igbo ancentry.

You're very stupid, you think Igbos are lazy like your useless tribe?

Anyone caught in any crime should pay the price as simple as that.

Fools, when you want to mention Igbos, next time mention it with caution.

Inferiority complex is in all you Igbo's nature. Always feeling cheated. Short-sighted cretins. Return to your erosion-depleted lands.

Do you think life is about owning shops? If Igbo land is so nice, why are your brothers coming to Delta to kidnap? Why not work hard and sell more goods? Local thing.

Chains and cage? Pls, what I said up there, is it true or false? Come to Asaba and ask around. Your brothers are the cause of insecurity in Asaba and its environs.

Local things... infested with inferiority complex and greed.

If not for Aguiyi Ironsi's greed, Nigeria would have had a regional government.

If not for Ojukwu's greed and betrayal, Nzeogeu's coup could have been successful. Or Biafra would have been successful, but the idiot wanted to capture Lagos and failed woefully. Let me also point out that he hid like a fool till he went into exile.

We will never forget how our grandparents and parents were massacred in Asaba because of that fool's war.

Going or living in the South East is risky. You will have to pay a lot for the service of police escort. Check Out Emoney, Obi Cubbana, Chief priests, Zenco, Zowizaza. They move with police steady if not na kidnapping straight. KANU really do SE big thing security wise

The only problem I can see here is that your frustration stems from envy and unhealthy jealousy you have for the Igbos, you are blaming them for your poverty instead of working on your dilapidated life.

Continue, as you know, time waits for no one.
