The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has ordered the immediate deployment of the Intelligence Response Team to secure the safe release of Afenifere Youth Leader, Prince Eniola Ojajuni, who was abducted on February 17, 2025, while traveling to Abuja.
A statement issued on Wednesday by the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, reaffirmed the police’s dedication to rescuing Ojajuni, assuring that all necessary resources and expertise are being mobilized.
The IGP commended the swift response of officers involved in the operation and emphasized the importance of ensuring Ojajuni’s safe return.
Adejobi also urged the public to avoid spreading unverified information about the case, warning that speculation on social media could endanger the victim and compromise rescue efforts.
He reassured Nigerians that the police remain committed to eliminating criminal elements and restoring peace and security across the country.
Meanwhile, the statement highlighted recent police successes, including an operation in Taraba State where officers raided a suspected criminal hideout at Wamunchi dry-season rice farms on February 26, leading to the arrest of 20 suspects and the recovery of weapons.
In Oyo State, security operatives swiftly responded to a kidnapping incident at the palace of Baale Tajudeen Inaolaji, rescuing three victims and apprehending one of the kidnappers.
