Fashion stylist simply known as Ejiro, previously rumored to be missing, has finally spoken out about her sudden withdrawal from public life, clarifying that her absence was a personal decision rather than the result of coercion or abduction.
Speculation about her whereabouts surged after entrepreneur Nkechi Harry-Ngonadi raised concerns over Ejiro’s well-being, alleging she had been manipulated by Abba’s Heart Ministry, a controversial Instagram-based prayer group. Ngonadi claimed the group had brainwashed Ejiro, alienated her from loved ones, and convinced her to sell her possessions and donate the proceeds.
In a recent video, however, Ejiro dismissed all such claims, stating categorically: “I was never kidnapped, cajoled, or hypnotized like some people said. I am alive and well.” She added that the delay in responding to the allegations was due to her Instagram account being disabled, which left her unaware of the online search and speculation.
Explaining her situation, Ejiro said she intentionally distanced herself from her family due to personal and emotional struggles, including family conflicts that escalated to police involvement.
“I am not missing. My old phone line was reachable until January 4. I just needed space to reflect and recover from personal issues,” she said, adding that an encounter with her siblings in late January sparked further complications, including harassment of her friends and multiple police reports. According to her, the police confirmed she was an adult capable of making independent decisions, and no case of abduction existed.
Responding to allegations that she was pressured by the prayer group’s founder, Joy Solomon, to shut down her fashion business, Ejiro firmly denied the claims, attributing her decision to a mental health crisis.
“I built that business from the ground up for almost eight years,” she said. “It wasn’t my family’s money, it was mine. I was going through a psychological breakdown around my milestone birthday. I made the decision to pause and heal — not unde! anyone’s influence.”
She also addressed issues surrounding her former apartment, confirming she left the property without formal notice due to financial strain but clarified the handover was agreed upon with the new occupant, who was connected through Abba’s Heart Ministry. She acknowledged breaching the rental contract but felt the public outrage was misplaced.
“My siblings seemed more concerned about the furniture than about me,” she remarked. “They went to my apartment, accused innocent people, and made baseless allegations online. I was paid for the items left behind — it wasn’t charity, and I don’t owe anyone an explanation.”
In conclusion, Ejiro expressed her frustration over having to publicly explain deeply personal choices.
“I feel exposed, embarrassed, and disappointed,” she said. “People will believe what they want, but I’m speaking up now — not for myself, but for those unfairly dragged into this.”
