Mrs Tochukwu Ezemma, wife of missing Anambra State billionaire, Ben, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to intervene in her husband?s case as all efforts to get justice have failed.

The husband, Ben Ezemma, an estate developer, was invited by a prominent person in Awka in November, 2024 and has not been seen since then.

According to the wife, ?even if they killed my husband, at least his corpse should be made available to us. The silence of security agents is killing me and the children slowly.

?Since the disappearance of my 34-year-old young man, the world has been turning around for me while those involved in the crime are roaming free in the society.

?Some of them are involved in the coming elections in the state, while my husband is nowhere to be seen for close to a year now, and they want me to keep quiet.

?Since my husband went missing in a mysterious way in 2024, sleep has gone far from me.

?Our children are small; how am I going to take care of them alone?

?Please, our President, I am appealing to you and members of your cabinet to help this lonely woman in need.

?Those who invited my husband for a meeting on that fateful day are still around and throwing money around in Anambra State.?

She told The Nation yesterday that she had written petitions to the Police and the Department of State Services (DSS) in Anambra and Abuja, all to no avail, adding that only President Tinubu can rescue her from her present trauma.

One of the prominent human rights activists in Anambra State, Comrade Osita Obi, blasted the police for not doing enough in the kidnap case of Ezemma, popularly known as BigBen in the state.

The missing Ezemma was one of the executive directors of Dubai Estate in the state.

Obi, speaking with The Nation, said it is the duty of the public to interrogate the happenings in the society, adding that the disappearance of Ezemma has become worrisome.

?That is the reason we are interrogating the government and the police.

?They have all the apparatus at their disposal.

?It might be this 34-year-old Ezemma today, but it could be any of us tomorrow.

?We want to know what happened to him.

?The cases of missing persons in this state are alarming.

?We registered our SIM cards in this country, why can?t anybody track the perpetrators of this heinous crime?

?Our profiles are with the government. They should go into Ezemma?s call log to track his abductors.

?Honestly, I am in pain,? Obi lamented. (The Nation, excluding headline)
