Nigeria: Oyo Govt Demolishes Building Linked to Abduction of Adelabu's Sister, Sons
Police said the building held abducted victims before rescue, and two suspected kidnappers were killed during the intelligence-led operation.
- On Monday, the Oyo State Government demolished a residential building in Ibadan used as a kidnappers' hideout, with personnel from the Oyo State Ministry of Public Works and Transportation conducting the operation supported by Nigeria Police Force operatives.
- Security operatives rescued Busayo John-Paul, sister of Minister of Power Adebayo Adelabu, and her 12-year-old twin sons, Peter and Paul, on Saturday after the family was abducted last Wednesday while traveling to school.
- Oyo State Commissioner of Police Abimbola Olugbenga visited the site Sunday, noting residents allegedly ignored suspicious activity. "There have been bringing abductees here. They bring them here, people see them, even people greet them welcome sometimes," Olugbenga told journalists.
- Operatives from the Force Intelligence Department-Intelligence Response Team conducted the rescue operation; according to the Nigeria Police Force, two suspected kidnappers were killed during a confrontation while authorities pursue other syndicate members who escaped.
- This demolition supports ongoing efforts by Governor Seyi Makinde to dismantle criminal hideouts and strengthen security across Oyo State, following his earlier visit to Adelabu assuring the family that law enforcement would intensify operations.
