Forum demands release of kidnapped Afenifere youth president 

The Forum of National Youth Leaders of All Political Parties in Nigeria (FNYLPPN) Tuesday called for the immediate release of Mr Eniola Ojajuni, the national president of Afenifere Youths, who is  being held by kidnappers.

In a statement signed by the forum’s co-chairmen, Eze-Onyebuchi Chukwu and Chinaza Ike, and made available to journalists , the group condemned the abduction, stating that it was deeply disturbed by the video of Ojajuni pleading for help.

The forum appealed to President Bola Tinubu, the Ondo state governor, Mr Lucky Aiyedatiwa, who is the governor  of Ojajuni state of origin, the Director of the Department of State Services, the Inspector General of Police, and all Nigerians to take action to secure the release of the  youth leader.

“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.”

The forum also urged  security agencies to intensify efforts to protect Nigerians and put an end to such traumatic experiences.
