An audio conversation between the kidnappers of Afenifere Youth Leader, Prince Eniola Joseph Ojajuni, and his negotiators has been released.

The kidnappers in the audio threatened to take his life within 48 hours if their ransom demand of N100 million is not met.

In the audio message, the kidnappers claimed that Ojajuni had already been shot twice and would be shot again if the ransom is not paid.

They refused to negotiate a lower amount, insisting that the full N100 million must be paid to secure Ojajuni’s release.

The kidnappers’ demands have sent shockwaves through the community, with many calling for urgent action to ensure Ojajuni’s safe release.

The Afenifere group and Ojajuni’s family are reportedly working tirelessly to raise the ransom, but time is running out.

As the clock ticks closer to the 48-hour deadline, concerns for Ojajuni’s safety are growing.

The incident has also raised questions about the security situation in the country and the need for urgent action to address the rising cases of kidnapping and banditry.
