Eniola Olajuni, the national president of the Afenifere Youth Council, has been released after spending 12 days in captivity.

His release was confirmed by Biodun Aderohunmu, the national secretary of the Youth Council, on Saturday.

“He has been released,” The Punch quoted Aderohunmu.

Olajuni was abducted on Monday, February 17, 2025, while traveling to Abuja for a meeting. His kidnappers initially demanded a ransom of N100 million and two tricycles for his release.

Following a viral video showing Olajuni at gunpoint pleading for help, Kayode Egbetokun, the inspector general of police, on Wednesday, ordered the deployment of the Intelligence Response Team to ensure his safe return.
