After spending 12 days in kidnappers’ den, the National President of the Afenifere Youth Council, Eniola Olajuni, has been released.
It is, however, not yet clear whether he paid the N100m ransom demanded by the kidnappers.
Olajuni had cried out in a video that his life was in danger as the abductors threatened to kill him should he fail to pay the ransom.
But the National Secretary of the Youths Council, Biodun Aderohunmu, on Sunday, confirmed his release to our correspondent in a short WhatsApp message on Saturday.
“He has been released”, the message reads, according to ‘The PUNCH’.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday, the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, 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.
