Crisis In Arthur Eze’s Family: Dunukofia’s Youths Intervene

Hundreds of Dunukofia’s youths stormed the castle of Prince Arthur Eze in Ukpo, Dunukofia Local Government Area of Anambra State in the mid hours of 3rd December 2020, demanding the unconditional release of his two cousins, Prince Olisa Berlus and Prince Onyeka Eze who were reportedly under detention by the EFCC on the behest of the billionaire over the alleged crime of embezzlement.

Orient Daily gathered that the duo of Messrs. Olisa Eze and Onyeka Eze were members of the kitchen cabinet of the Ukpo born philanthropist and usually manage the bags of money he gifts people on daily basis.

The protesters were singing solidarity songs while brandishing placards with some of the following inscriptions: “Nobody is with your money Says Dunukofia Youth,” “Justice for two princes of Ukpo Kingdom,” “Princes Olisa Eze and Onyeka Eze are innocent,” and “Ozoigbondu, remember they are your brothers.”




One of the protesters blamed the billionaire’s Aide as the source of the Eze’s brothers’ ordeal.



“I don’t know whether he is using charms on Arthur. He believes everything he told him. He was the one that told Ozoigbonudu that they stole his money.”

However, a close relative to the family who spoke on condition of anonymity told Orient Daily that the case is a family issue that “people should learn how to mind their business…I advised the youths to go home and allow the Eze royal family to sort the matter out.”

He went on to say that Prince Arthur Eze was just trying to punish them for wrong-doings. He reminded the youths that “it is the same Arthur Eze that detained Olisa and Onyeka built a mansion for them.”

Similarly, another Ukpo native told Orient Daily that the youths are protesting because the two detainees are youth-friendly. “They usually come to help of Dunukofia’s youth when called upon.”

Attempts to speak with Prince Arthur Eze proved futile at the time of filing this report.
