Some lawyers who were at the Anambra state High Court over the case of the alleged abduction of Anambra billionaire and estate developer, Mr. Benjamin Ezemma popularly called Big Ben expressed anger over sudden postponement of the case on Tuesday.
They complained they were kept in the dark over the inability of the presiding judge to be in court for the matter.
Some of the lawyers who travelled from outside the state, lamented over the expenses they incurred coming to Awka for the matter, wondering why they were not informed earlier until the court clerk’s announcement of the postponement of the matter.
“They knew that the presiding judge would not be present and they allowed us travel far distances to come here to waste our time in court.
“I’m supposed to be in another court today but see me here. This is nothing but an insult,” lamented one of the senior lawyers.
Controversy has continued to trail the kidnap of Ezemma, Managing Director of the high brow Dubai Estate, Awka, who got missing November 12, 2024, with his whereabouts yet unknown.
In the matter, a businessman, Ozo Jeff Nweke, the Chief Executive Officer of Mango and Lion Properties Ltd, was dragged to Anambra High Court, Awka, with Charge No: AWK/6c/2025, accusing him with others of allegedly kidnapping Ezemma on November 12, 2024.
Some leaders of Ezinano community in Awka who were at the court described as mischief, the allegation that Ozo Jeff Nweke, their illustrious son, had a hand in the estate developer alleged abduction.
They maintained that the allegation against Nweke was part of the grand plan of a neighbouring community they were in dispute over land to tarnish his image.
