On Friday, February 2, 2024, Adejobi addressed the recent abduction incidents in Ekiti State during an interview on a monitored program.

The context included the killing of two traditional rulers on Oke-Ako road in Ikole Local Government Area and the kidnapping of six pupils, three teachers, and a bus driver in Emure Ekiti earlier in the week.

Expressing his views on the matter, Adejobi asserted that it is a crime for families of kidnapped victims to pay ransom for the release of their relatives in the kidnappers' den. He highlighted the issue of families not involving the police before succumbing to the demands of kidnappers.

According to Adejobi, paying ransom is deemed criminal in Nigeria. However, he acknowledged the challenge where families, driven by fear and threats from the kidnappers, avoid engaging security operatives before paying the demanded ransom. He explained that kidnappers manipulate the victims' families, warning them not to involve the police under the threat of harm to their loved ones.

Adejobi emphasized the complexity of kidnapping, describing it as a business for perpetrators who negotiate for ransom. He pointed out the disturbing trend where kidnappers, after collecting money, proceed to harm or kill the victim.

Despite the challenges, Adejobi assured the public that efforts would be made to rescue those abducted in Ekiti State, ensuring their safe return.
