In a series of posts shared on Facebook, Blessing claimed that her brother’s flamboyant lifestyle made kidnappers believe the family had access to huge amounts of money, allegedly leading to an increase in the ransom demand from ₦700 million to ₦1.5 billion.

According to her, their family is not as wealthy as her brother had portrayed them online, alleging that they were already heavily indebted.
“Why Jowizaza, my brother? You are the cause of this madness. Social media noise, when we don’t have that money. You use audio money to make hoodlums think the money is available.
