Eniola Olajuni, the National President of the Afenifere Youth Council, has regained his freedom after spending 12 days in captivity.
His release was confirmed on Saturday by the National Secretary of the Youth Council, Biodun Aderohunmu, who simply stated, “He has been released.”
Olajuni was abducted on Monday, February 17, while traveling to Abuja for a meeting. His disappearance raised concerns among members of the Afenifere Youth Council and the larger Yoruba socio-political community.
During his time in captivity, a video surfaced online in which Olajuni revealed that his kidnappers had demanded a ransom of N100 million and two tricycles before they would let him go.
At the time of this report, it remains unclear whether the ransom was paid or if other negotiations led to his release. Security agencies have not yet provided details on the circumstances surrounding his freedom, and it is uncertain if any arrests have been made in connection with the abduction.
