Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun has ordered the immediate deployment of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) to secure the release of Afenifere Youth Leader, Prince Eniola Ojajuni, who was kidnapped on February 17 while traveling to Abuja.
Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, in a statement on Wednesday, reaffirmed the police’s commitment to ensuring Ojajuni’s safe return, stressing that all necessary resources and expertise were being deployed.
“The IGP commends the bravery and swift action of these gallant officers who have demonstrated their commitment to ensuring the safety and security of citizens,” the statement read.
“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.
“However, the police urge members of the public to exercise caution and refrain from engaging in social media speculation or sharing unverified information regarding the ongoing rescue efforts. Such activities can inadvertently jeopardise the operation and potentially endanger the victim’s safety.
