Kidnappers demand ₦100m as abducted victim begs for help in viral video

A heartbreaking video has emerged online showing a young man named Mogaji Adebanjo, an employee of Vine Crest College in Ogun State, pleading desperately for help after being kidnapped by armed men along Kabba Road while traveling from Iperu to Abuja.

In the disturbing clip circulating on social media, he was seen visibly weak, frightened, and tied up as he begs Nigerians, security authorities, and the government to intervene urgently.

“I was taken along Kabba Road. Please help me. I don’t want to die. I have a pregnant wife, a 4 year old son, and an aged father. Please help me. I don’t want to die. I was taken yesterday. I am from Imo Arigidi, Ondo State,” he said.

Abductors have demanded a massive ₦100 million-naira ransom for his release. Adebanjo emphasized that his family, including his pregnant wife, young son, and elderly father, depend on him.

His emotional plea has sparked widespread concern as insecurity continues to worsen along major highways in Nigeria.

The kidnappers have reportedly issued strict conditions and are allegedly threatening to harm him if the ransom is not paid on time.

This incident adds to the growing number of kidnapping cases along Nigerian road corridors, raising urgent questions about safety, intelligence operations, and the need for stronger security presence on vulnerable routes.
