Chief Victor Okafor popularly called ‘King of Money’ (EZEGO) died in 1999. With so many tales about his death. He was so rich that he did build roads for government. He was one of the richest men in Nigeria as at then. His growing up story is not a great one. The reason people started to ask question about his sudden excessive riches. The house he built in his home town that is estimated to worth N500m has been empty after his death. No one tries to step foot in it. With the gold, cars etc in the house, no one tries to step in despite no security guard in the building. He is believed to have made his wealth through Okija shrine. And his death is attributed to the same shrine.
