Victor Nnamdi Okafor "Ezego" (25 December 1964 – 25 December 1999), predominantly known by his ruler title Ezego (which means "King Of Money" in English), was an opulent Nigerian businessman who reportedly engaged in diabolical means in order to amass wealth. He died on 25 December 1999 at the age of 35 under bizarre circumstances.

Early life and education Ezego was born on 25 December 1964. He was a native of Uzoakwa of Ihiala in Anambra state. Ezego attended only grade school and would abandon education entirely. He joined an armed robbery syndicate that terrorized the people of Anambra state for years. In 1988, every member of the armed robbery squad was apprehended except Ezego. He evaded arrest several times. In 1989, he relocated to Lagos state to pursue business opportunities.

Death On 25 December 1999, on his birthday, he was involved in a fatal automobile crash under bizarre circumstances. Ezego hardly ever drove himself and instead had a personal chauffeur with whom he travelled, but on the day Ezego died in the crash, it was reported that he had instructed the chauffeur not to drive and that he had intended to drive himself.
