Olajuni was abducted on Monday, February 17, 2025, while traveling to Abuja for a meeting. His kidnappers had initially demanded a ransom of N100 million and two tricycles in exchange for his freedom.

Following a viral video in which Olajuni, held at gunpoint, pleaded for financial assistance from Nigerians, the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, ordered the deployment of the Intelligence Response Team to facilitate his safe release.
