Afenifere Youth Leader Begs Nigerians as Kidnappers Set ₦100M Ransom Deadline

Prince Eniola Joseph Ojajuni, the National President of the Afenifere National Youth Council, was kidnapped and has been threatened with death if the ₦100 million ransom is not paid by 3 p.m. on Monday, February 24, 2025.

In a video that went viral, Ojajuni reportedly made this clear while frantically appealing for assistance from Nigerians.
As he pleads with the public for financial support to gain his release, Ojajuni is seen in the video pointing an AK-47 at his chest.

“Help me, Nigerians!” he said. “Your contribution, whether it be N100,000, N50,000, or N1,000,000, can significantly help save my life,” he begged in the video. The name Prince Eniola Ojajuni is mine. May God bless you. Please assist me in spreading this film, Aderohunmu.
Remember how Ojajuni was shot and taken hostage in Abuja?
