In a press release he issued on Wednesday, Adejobi assured Nigerians that the police is fully committed to securing Ojajuni’s release by deploying all necessary resources and expertise.

“In the same vein, the IGP has ordered the immediate deployment of the FID Intelligence Response Team to prioritise the safe rescue of Prince Eniola Ojajuni, the Afenifere Youth Leader, who was kidnapped on 17 February 2025 while en route to Abuja.

“The NPF is fully committed to the safe return of Prince Ojajuni and is deploying all necessary resources and expertise to achieve this objective.”
