Tinubu, Aiyedatiwa urged to rescue Afenifere youth leader kidnapped by bandits

The Forum of National Youth Leaders of All Political Parties in Nigeria has called for the immediate release of Mr Eniola Ojajuni, National President of Afenifere Youths, who is reportedly being held by kidnappers.
In a statement by its co-chairmen, Eze-Onyebuchi Chukwu and Chinaza Ike, on Tuesday, the group expressed concern over the situation.
The forum condemned the abduction, stating that it was deeply disturbed by the distressing video of Ojajuni pleading for help.
It urged President Bola Tinubu, Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, SSS boss, the inspector general of police and all Nigerians to take action to secure the youth leader’s release.
The group also appealed to the bandits to spare Mr Ojajuni’s life.
“We also appeal to our brothers in the bush to reconsider their actions. Whatever their reasons for abducting the youth leader, it should not cost him his life.
“He has done nothing wrong to you. We plead with you, in the spirit of brotherhood, to spare his life,” said the group.
It called on security agencies to intensify efforts to protect Nigerians.
“It is unacceptable that, in this digital age, a citizen has been held captive for days without any news of his rescue. May God protect him,” the group added.
