with journalists, the leader of the Nzekwe kindred, Chief Pius Nzekwe
stated that their son; Nzekwe John Festus’s life was under threat.
According to him, “Festus operates a boutique before he had eye problem
which caused his business to fold up for lack of finance.Upon recovery,
Festus engaged himself bricklaying jobs just to make ends meet.
Sincerely, Festus is a hardworking man and as such he never allowed his
ill health turned him a beggar or criminal. The trouble which led to his
sudden disappearance started in the month of May, 2017”.
Continuing,
Chief Nzekwe said he was informed that a friend of Festus, Kingsley
wants him dead because of his refusal to be introduced into their armed
robbery gang. He disclosed that the matter has been reported to Agbor
Police Division, but their worry was that the members of the armed
robbery gang have not stopped coming to their house, threatening to
kill Festus whenever he is seen.

disclosed that Festus ran for his dear life and that his whereabouts
has remained unknown. Chief Nzekwe said that it is their prayer that
their son (Festus) will find peace and shelter wherever he had ran to
