Viral video: Abducted Afenifere youth leader begs Nigerians for help from kidnapper’s den

Eniola Ojajuni, the national president of the Afenifere Youth Council, has made a desperate plea for financial assistance to secure his release after being abducted by kidnappers.

In distressing videos circulating on social media, Ojajuni is seen sitting on the ground, with a gunman pointing an AK-47 rifle at him. The kidnapped leader, visibly distressed, called on Nigerians, particularly those from the Ilaje area of Ondo State, to help raise the ransom demanded by his captors.

Ojajuni revealed that he has been given a 24-hour deadline, with his captors threatening to kill him if the ransom is not paid within that time frame.

“Nigerians, please help me! Your donation, N100,000, N50,000, or N1,000,000, will go a long way to save my life. My name is Prince Eniola Ojajuni. God bless you. Aderohunmu, please help me spread this video,” he said.

His abduction was first announced by Abiodun Aderohunmu, national secretary of the Afenifere Youth Council.

Aderohunmu said Ojajuni was kidnapped on February 17, 2025, in Abuja and sustained a gunshot wound to his buttock.

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

He added that the kidnappers have demanded N100 million for Ojajuni’s release.
