Ezemma, popularly known as BigBen, who is the Managing Director of Dubai Estate, Awka, was abducted on 12th November 2024 and has not been seen ever since.

In a statement, Mrs Ezemma alleged what she called “the conspiracy of silence and inaction from the state government, which showed that it is not disturbed that Bigben who is a great investor in this state, boosting the state’s economy via his fashion industry and real estate business, is missing.”

She said: “I can no longer be quiet, it’s been over two months of extreme torture for me, my children and the entire family. I ask again, Where is my husband and the father of my three innocent children? What exactly is the problem? What in the name of God is this problem that cannot be talked over?

“They have surmised the abduction of my husband as business gone wrong. My husband is not a nobody in Anambra State. He has imparted a lot through his entrepreneurial spirit and his disappearance deserves the attention of the state government.

“Ndi Anambra please help me ask the authorities if the law has changed on investigations and arrest because my husband, a young man in his prime, is missing.

“Everybody please come to my aid. I need to know what happened to the father of my innocent little kids.

“I need answers as to my husband’s disappearance. Who are these high profile men he had this meeting with that can’t be told to the world or arrested?

“The DSS said the case is in court, that the family should get a lawyer to follow up for us in court but we need to know who is the case against? What is the person/s charged with?”

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that there were speculations across the state over Lawal’s move to defect to APC.
A statement issued in Gusau on Saturday by the state APC Publicity Secretary, Malam Yusuf Idris, described the speculations as fabricated.
“The party came across a fabricated report purported to have emanated from one Tambarin Gusau claiming that Go Dauda Lawal has sent a letter to the party wanting to join the APC.
“The report is malicious, unfortunate, unfounded, mischievous and showed the unprofessional manner which some people can go in misleading others and causing chaos in a stable and a peaceful party like the APC.
“The APC has responsible channels where everything is done in a guided manner,” Idris said.
According to him, the party has not received any letter from Lawal as claimed through the imagination of the writer nor was the party aware of any recent moves by the governor to defect from the PDP to the APC.
“All members of the party and indeed the public especially in Zamfara should therefore disregard such report.,” Idris added.(NAN)
