Tiktoker To Police – Deploy Same Tools Used In Tracking Cyberbullying For Kidnappers
A Nigerian TikToker, Olumide Ogunsanwo, popularly known as “SeaKing,” has challenged the Nigeria Police Force to prioritise the capture of kidnappers as against focusing on cyberbullying cases.
Ogunsawo, who gave the challenge against the backdrop of the abduction of Prince Eniola Ojajuni, National President of the Afenifere Youth Council, noted that the Nigeria Police dedicated more resources to tracking individuals accused of cyberbullying and or criticising those in authority but, fail to go after kidnappers who openly post videos online.
Ogunsawo, in a video posted on his TikTok handle, stressed that kidnappers were the real bullies of cyberspace.
In the words of SeaKing; “This is one of the Yoruba Youth leaders who had been kidnapped, pleading for his life, begging Nigerians that they should help him.
“Kidnappers oo, please Nigerian Police, these are the people you should be tracking down.
“All this your cyberbullying, cyber-stalking that you are tracking down, that you are tracking people that are speaking the truth, sharp you have tracked someone who abused IGP; you have tracked him down, you will be saying cyberbullying, cyber something.
“These are the people (kidnappers) you are supposed to be tracking. These are the people that are bullying the cyberspace.
“Imagine Kidnappers posting; they will post online, but you cannot track them. These are the people you are supposed to be tracking. These are the people that are bullying the cyberspace. They are the ones doing cyberbullying. Track them down.
“The same tools you use to monitor critics and those speaking out online — use them to track kidnappers,” Seaking stressed.
In a trending video, the abducted National President of the Afenifere National Youth Council, Prince Eniola Joseph Ojajuni, was seen desperately pleading for donation to assist him meet the N100 million ransom being demanded by his abductors who threatened to kill him if the money is not paid by 3:00pm on Monday.
In the video circulating on social media, one of the kidnappers could be seen pointing an AK-47 at Ojajuni’s chest as he appealed for financial assistance to secure his release.
A visibly exhausted and distressed Ojajuni pleaded with Nigerians to contribute whatever they could to save his life.
He said in anguish; “Nigerians, please help me! Your donation—N100,000, N50,000, or N1,000,000—can go a long way in saving my life.
“My name is Prince Eniola Ojajuni. God bless you. Aderohunmu, please help me spread this video,” he pleaded.
