Gunmen kidnap Afenifere youth council president in Abuja

Gunmen have abducted Eniola Ojajuni, national president of the Afenifere Youth Council, in Abuja.

In a statement, Abiodun Aderohunmu, national secretary of the council, said the incident occurred on Monday.

The national secretary said abductors of Ojajuni have demanded a N100 million ransom.

“The Afenifere National Youths Council is deeply saddened to announce the kidnapping of its National President, Prince Eniola Joseph Ojajuni, in Abuja, Nigeria,” the statement reads.

“The unfortunate incident occurred yesterday, and the kidnappers have demanded a ransom of N100,000,000.

“During the kidnapping, Prince Ojajuni sustained a bullet wound on his buttock. We are deeply concerned about his safety and well-being, and we urge the kidnappers to release him unharmed.

“Prince Ojajuni is a prominent figure in Nigeria and a strong advocate for youth empowerment and development.”

The group asked the federal government and security agencies to act swiftly for Ojajuni’s return, while imploring Nigerians with useful information to assist.

Josephine Adeh, federal capital territory (FCT) police spokesperson, told TheCable she was yet to be briefed about the incident.
