Kidnapped Afenifere Youth Leader Regains Freedom

100

The National President of the Afenifere Youth Council, Eniola Olajuni, has been released after 12 days in the kidnappers’ den.

Olajuni was abducted on Monday, February 17, 2025, on his way to Abuja for a meeting.

The kidnappers had demanded ₦100 million and two tricycles as ransom for his release.

However, the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, on Wednesday, ordered the deployment of the Intelligence Response Team to secure the safe release of the Afenifere Youth Leader after a video went viral where Olajuni, who was at gun point, pleaded for Nigerians to come to his aid and raise funds for his release.

Confirming Olajuni’s release to Punch, the National Secretary of the Youths Council, Biodun Aderohunmu, said, “He has been released.”

In other news, the Pan-Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, has clarified that Chief Reuben Fasoranti remains its leader, dismissing the recent appointment of Oba Oladipo Olaitan as acting leader.

The group’s National Publicity Secretary, Jare Ajayi, made this known in a statement on Wednesday, insisting that there is no leadership vacuum in Afenifere.

Ajayi criticised the decision by some members to appoint Olaitan without the consent of Fasoranti, describing it as a deviation from Yoruba tradition.

“It is a known fact that the National Leader of Afenifere, Chief Reuben Famuyide Fasoranti, is still very much around. He is not only hale and hearty but also providing the requisite leadership, to the glory of God.

“In a situation where there is no vacuum, how do you talk of filling a vacancy that does not exist?,” Ajayi stated.
