“I Was Never Missing”: Nigerian Stylist Ejiro Speaks Out, Dismisses Abduction Claims [VIDEO]

 

Amid swirling rumours of abduction, coercion, and mysterious disappearances, Nigerian fashion stylist Ejiro has emerged to shut down the claims, describing them as baseless and damaging. In a heartfelt Instagram video, the designer set the record straight, stating categorically that she was neither kidnapped nor hypnotised, but had deliberately chosen to distance herself from social media and family for personal reasons.

Her explanation followed public concerns over her whereabouts, which gained traction after entrepreneur Nkechi Harry-Ngonadi raised an alarm on social media. Harry-Ngonadi claimed Ejiro had joined a religious group known as Abba’s Heart Ministry, after which she purportedly shut down her fashion business, liquidated her assets, and vanished without notifying friends or family. These developments prompted widespread speculation, with some alleging she had fallen victim to spiritual manipulation.

Ejiro, however, rebuffed the narrative in a detailed video message, expressing dismay over how quickly the situation spiraled. According to her, Instagram had disabled her account, effectively cutting her off from the digital world and keeping her unaware of the growing public concern.

“I am actually Ejiro, the most talked-about Ejiro online currently, the acclaimed missing lady,” she began, visibly distressed but composed. “I was never kidnapped, cajoled, or hypnotised. Instagram disabling my account meant I had no idea all of this was happening.”

Describing her disappearance as intentional and necessary, Ejiro said she had been grappling with emotional stress and needed time alone to regroup. That decision, she explained, involved severing communication with close friends and even family—a choice that was deeply personal.

A visit to her siblings in Abuja in January turned confrontational, she revealed, escalating the situation further. “That meeting led to harassment of my friends and ended up with us going to three different police stations,” she said. Authorities, according to her, confirmed there was no legal case, asserting that as an adult, she had every right to make her own decisions.

Ejiro expressed shock that her choices had been publicly questioned and misrepresented. The allegations didn’t stop at abandonment; some claimed she was manipulated by Joy Solomon, the leader of Abba’s Heart Ministry, into giving up her career.

Dismissing those claims, Ejiro clarified that her decision to close her business was solely her own. The brand she had built over eight years, she said, was paused due to psychological challenges and not under any external influence. “It’s my business. I started it without any help from my parents, and I can choose to step away if I need to,” she emphasized.

To lend credence to her mental health struggles, she referenced Pastor Enoh Jerry, who she said was aware of the difficulties she was facing during what should have been a celebratory period in her life. “It was a milestone birthday for me, and I was breaking down. I had to walk away from work to heal,” Ejiro shared.

The stylist also criticized what she described as exaggerated narratives being peddled online. “I have seen so many allegations since getting back on social media—hypnosis, debt, manipulation. All lies,” she said. The public, she argued, had been fed falsehoods in a rush to sensationalize a story that was never theirs to tell.

Adding to her frustration was the role played by family and friends, whose frantic search she felt could have been better managed privately. “I told them to back off. I changed my number to start life afresh. The way this has all been handled is embarrassing,” she said, holding back visible emotion.

Despite her attempts to clarify the situation, Ejiro expressed little optimism that the public would accept her truth. “Even after speaking, people will still say what they want,” she said. “But I’m saying this not just for myself, but for every other person who got dragged into this mess.”

The stylist concluded her statement by reaffirming her well-being and autonomy. “I am alive, I am well, and I am in my proper senses. I wasn’t forced into anything. This is who I am, and I owe no one an explanation for how I choose to live my life.”

Her message serves as a powerful reminder of the complexities behind personal choices and the dangers of viral misinformation. While the digital world had declared her lost, Ejiro insists she was never missing—just choosing herself, quietly and on her own terms.
