According to him, the incident happened on October 23, 2025, while he was working as a farm manager at a farm located in Oke Ako, Ikole Local Government Area of Ekiti State, close to the Kogi State border.

On that day, armed men stormed the farm and kidnapped him alongside a tractor operator.

He explained that after the abduction, they were forced to trek through the forest for five days before reaching the kidnappers’ camp.

During the journey, the kidnappers reportedly abducted several other people from nearby villages, bringing the number of captives to over ten people.

The captives survived by eating yams and maize taken from farms and drinking river water as they were moved from one forest location to another.

Olaniyi also revealed that the kidnappers demanded a ransom of ₦100 million for him and ₦50 million for the tractor operator, bringing the total to ₦150 million.

After weeks in captivity, beatings, and severe hardship, he eventually managed to escape with two other captives when one of the guards abandoned his post and left the key to their chains behind.

The three of them then trekked through the forest for three days until they finally reached a village in Kogi State, where they encountered soldiers who helped them reunite with their families.

After spending over a month in captivity, Olaniyi says he lost about 10kg in weight and suffered serious injuries to his feet from trekking barefoot in the forest.
He has since shared the full story of his ordeal online.

Unless you have experienced, you will never understand what it means to be in the hands of those demonic entities.

May God continue to protect His children in Jesus Christ's name. Amen!

Maybe the army stationed in that village might even be in the know, given the reported stories of insider knowledge security agents have of these terrorists.

It's like bandits and kidnappers in Nigeria pay taxes to the federal government because how come none of them have been prosecuted, jailed and sentenced to death till date.
They catch, prosecute and jail yahoo boys, drug traffickers, cultists. But rogue Fulani herdsmen, terrorists and kidnappers are not dealt with

Many university towns have kidnappers, same as plantations of palm nuts. They don't joke with palm plantations owners. My guy here in owa oyibu, Agbor, managed to leave just 1 minute b4 they struck. They kidnapped 2 others thereafter who were there in their own plantations nearby.

Not difficult at all those guys are apc boys which a former apc chieftain has even confirmed they will be obliterated immediately a new neutral party that doesn't have any links with them takes over power.

Kogi state is the next borno in the middle belt region and even to the southern region. That state is heavily infested with local terrorists. The state is a terrorist domain

Omoh.. These bandits might likely take over Nigeria at this rate. It cld be 100 years or even 1000 yrs but they will eventually take over Nigeria is not totally destroyed now.

If he manages to japa and lambasts the security and leadership of this nation tomorrow, many of you ass lickas will call him names.

Imagine the harrowing experience... What was his offense to go through such hell in a nation he was born and raised in?!!


There was a time when being poor was enough to escape kidnap... But, we can see that is no longer the case.

You can't enjoy stable electricity, low paying jobs, poor road networks, low access to good healthcare...!

Yoi are practically living a shockingly sub-normal life... Yet, you still have to worry about being kidnapped or killed at anytime.


...And a pastor will still tell you that you might still go to Hell. Damn! undecided

There is no genuine effort on the part of the govt. They are making the northern/muslim guys look invincibe to justify why non kinetic means(amnesty) should be adopted.
I remember one ex-ND militant in church in Warri then. He was a ransom collector in his active time in militancy. Those guys did the dirty job themselves and paid fairly with their own lives by risking it for fortification and all. Today what we have up north is just collusion between jihadi APC and religiously brainwashed elements to project the aura of invincibility.

If you say you are fighting for some islamic privileges or rights, is islam yours alone? It is open to all citizens in all 774 LGAs.
