The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has issued a directive for the immediate deployment of the Intelligence Response Team to secure the safe release of Prince Eniola Ojajuni, the Afenifere Youth Leader who was abducted on February 17, 2025, while on his way to Abuja.
The priority of the team is to ensure the safe rescue of Ojajuni, as emphasized by the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, in a statement released recently. Adejobi assured the public of the police force’s dedication to employing all necessary resources and expertise to secure Ojajuni’s freedom.
The IGP commended the courage and quick response of the officers involved, highlighting their commitment to ensuring citizens’ safety. Additionally, the FID Intelligence Response Team has been mobilized promptly to focus on rescuing Prince Eniola Ojajuni.
Adejobi urged caution among Nigerians regarding sharing unverified information on social media about the incident. He emphasized that such actions could potentially harm the ongoing rescue operation and compromise the safety of the victim.
The Nigeria Police Force remains resolute in its efforts to eradicate criminal elements within communities, striving towards establishing peace and safety for all citizens. Adejobi also detailed successful police operations in February, including the arrest of suspects and recovery of weapons in Taraba State, as well as the swift rescue of kidnap victims in Oyo State, leading to the apprehension of a perpetrator.
