Reports indicate that the kidnapping occurred around 2:00 p.m. in Akunnu Akoko, Ondo State.
Ojajuni shared his ordeal in a Facebook post on Friday, revealing that he is still receiving medical treatment following the traumatic experience.
He expressed deep gratitude to those who supported him financially, spiritually, and emotionally during the ordeal. He also appreciated those who reached out to his wife with words of encouragement.
“I was kidnapped by Fulani herdsmen on February 17 while on my way to Abuja in Akunnu Akoko around 1:42 p.m.
“I’m currently undergoing intensive medical treatment. I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who stood by me—those who provided financial assistance, spiritual support, and those who called my dear wife to offer words of encouragement. Once I recover, I will personally express my appreciation,” Ojajuni wrote.
It was earlier reported that Ojajuni was released on March 1 after a ransom of at least ₦17 million was paid, according to a top family source.
His wife personally delivered the ransom to the abductors in Akure before his release, following about 12 days in captivity.
Sources revealed that despite repeated appeals, the Nigerian government did not provide financial assistance, and security agencies were unable to track the kidnappers until the ransom was paid.
“We did not receive any help from the government despite multiple assurances, and police efforts to locate the kidnappers were unsuccessful. We had no choice but to raise the funds ourselves,” a source disclosed.
Ojajuni is currently recovering at an undisclosed medical facility for security reasons.
