Prince Eniola Joseph Ojajuni, the National Youth President of Afenifere, has confirmed his abduction by suspected Fulani herdsmen on February 17. The incident occurred around 1:42 p.m. in Akunnu Akoko, Ondo State, while he was traveling to Abuja.
Ojajuni expressed gratitude to those who supported him during his captivity, including those who provided financial, spiritual, and emotional support. He also thanked those who reached out to his wife with words of encouragement.
After 12 days in captivity, Ojajuni was released on March 1, reportedly after a ransom of at least ₦17 million was paid. His wife personally delivered the ransom in Akure. Despite appeals, the Nigerian government did not provide financial assistance, and security agencies were unable to track the kidnappers until after the ransom was paid.
