The police command in Oyo state has confirmed the rescue of Busayo Adelabu-John Paul, younger sister of Adebayo Adelabu, former minister of power, and her twin sons, abducted on June 3 in Ibadan, the state capital.
Olayinka Ayanlade, police spokesperson in Oyo state, confirmed the rescue operation in a terse statement made available to journalists on Saturday night.
Adelabu-John Paul and her twin sons were kidnapped in the early hours of June 3 in Ibadan while conveying the children to school.
Armed gunmen intercepted her at the Elewura area of Challenge in Ibadan and forcefully took her away with the twins.
The abduction sent shockwaves through the family and the wider political community in Oyo State, given Chief Adelabu’s prominence as a former minister and APC governorship hopeful.
