Concern mounts as Nigerian stylist ‘sells properties, goes missing after joining IG prayer group’

Nkechi Harry-Ngonadi, the Nigerian entrepreneur, has raised the alarm over the disappearance of a woman identified as Ejiro after she joined a prayer group on Instagram.

 

In a series of Instagram posts, Nkechi revealed that Ejiro, CEO of @stylebyejiro, has been missing for over two weeks, with attempts to contact her futile.

 

The businesswoman disclosed that the stylist had joined a “special prayer group” on social media, after which she reportedly closed her thriving business, sold all her possessions, and vanished without a trace.


Nkechi urged anyone with information about Ejiro’s whereabouts to come forward, stating her intention to pursue legal action.

 

“Where is Ejiro? CEO @stylebyejiro? Few weeks ago, my heart was troubled about two amazing ladies who were close to me and suddenly disappeared, and one of them is Ejiro. I have been praying intensely for both ladies, and my heart wasn’t at rest concerning Ejiro, especially,” she wrote.


“I tried calling and sending messages but to no avail. I reached out to her family, and what I heard was troubling, but I decided to carry out my personal investigations. I was told she joined a prayer group here on social media and ever since she joined them Ejiro’s life and business went down hill until she closed up completely.

 

“Sold everything she owns and disappeared in thin air. 2 weeks ago was her birthday, and like previous birthdays, I called to pray with her, I haven’t been able to reach her till date. Please, anyone with any vital information should reach out to me because I intend to take this up legally. Ejiro needs help. Please pray for her.”


In a follow-up post, Nkechi accused the prayer group of brainwashing Ejiro, isolating her from family and friends, and convincing her to sell her properties and hand over the proceeds to them.

“Ejiro is like a daughter to me, whom I cherish a lot. Ejiro is a sweet, kind soul and doesn’t deserve this. She joined a prayer group here on IG and was brainwashed,” she wrote.

“The convener told her God wants to use her and asked her to close down her shop that was doing very well. She sold everything in her shop and gave the money to the group as a seed. She sold all her gold, car, and gave the money to them.

“I am told that the prayer group brainwashed her and turned her against her family and friends, so they could isolate her. Till now, nobody knows where she is—dead or alive.

 “We are looking for those with information on where we can locate the camp she was taken to. This matter has been directed to the right authorities. Ejiro needs our help at this time. She needs our prayers.”

  


In another update, Nkechi named the convener of the prayer group as Joy Solomon, claiming that the lady had since dissolved the group and deactivated her social media accounts.


She also shared screenshots of other people who have come forward, alleging that they also have family members who went missing after joining the prayer group.

 

Solomon has yet to react to the allegation as of the time of this report.


Ovie Daniels, the brother of the missing stylist, has also shared disturbing details about her behaviour before she went missing.

In a video shared on Instagram, Ovie narrated how Ejiro abruptly abandoned her thriving fashion business after joining “the controversial prayer group”.

He revealed that Ejiro had become increasingly secretive about her involvement with the group, even attempting to convince him and his wife to join.

According to him, the situation took a dramatic turn when Ejiro closed her successful fashion business, which catered to prominent clients and generated good income.


Ovie said that despite his attempts to dissuade her, Ejiro sold everything and shut down the business completely.

  

“Later, she said she was closing her business, and if you knew her business, she was doing well. She sewed clothes for prominent people, she was really making good money, and she said she was going to shut down the business,” he said.


“I remember trying to discourage her, you don’t have to shut down this business. If you are tired and the business has been stressing you, there are better ways to go about it.

 

“Like a joke, she sold the whole thing, closed it down, and she was at home doing nothing for over 6 months. We were worried, and we were like something is off, and when her rent was due and she could not renew, and she said she was going to move out of the place. We asked if she really needed to move out; we even offered to pay the rent, but at that point, she started shutting us out of it.

 

“I was at my own place in Abuja, but I noticed that she did not even tell us when she was moving out, because I even offered to help her move out. She just told us that she had moved out, she was staying with a friend and she would sort herself out.

 

“That she was trying to have time with God, and he will tell her what to do next, and I was like there is something off here. How can God tell you to close down your business, now you cannot pay your rent, and now you are waiting for God to tell you the next thing to do. I said, truly, God made some moves like that in the Bible, but there was a purpose in everything.”
