The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, has ordered the immediate deployment of the FID-Intelligence Response Team (IRT) tactical team to ensure the safe rescue of Prince Eniola Ojajuni, the Afenifere Youth Leader, who was kidnapped on February 17, while en route to Abuja.
According to a statement yesterday by the Force Public Relations Officer, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the police are committed to the safe return of Ojajuni and are deploying resources and expertise to achieve this objective. He however urged the public to exercise caution and refrain from engaging in social media speculation or sharing unverified information on the rescue efforts.

IGP said such activities could inadvertently jeopardise the operation and potentially endanger the safety of the victim, adding that the Police will continue to pursue and dismantle criminal elements operating in our communities to establish peace and safety.
Adejobi also noted that in line with the ongoing efforts of the Nigeria Police Force to combat crime, particularly organised crime, the Force has made significant breakthroughs, including the recovery of illegal firearms, the arrest of suspects, and the rescue of kidnapping victims.
