Just in: Oyo Govt Demolishes Building Linked to Adelabu Family Abduction
The Oyo State Government has demolished a three-bedroom bungalow in the Lako Community along the Aiyegun–Anaye Road area of Ibadan, allegedly used as a hideout by kidnappers involved in the abduction of the younger sister of former Minister of Power, Chief Bayo Adelabu, and her children.
The demolition was carried out on Monday by officials of the Oyo State Ministry of Public Works and Transportation, accompanied by operatives of the Nigeria Police Force, as part of ongoing efforts to curb kidnapping and other criminal activities in the State.
The victims, Mrs. Olaide Busayo Adegoke John-Paul and her 12-year-old twin sons, Peter and Paul, were abducted at the Elewura area of Challenge, Ibadan, on June 3, 2026.
According to the state government, the demolition underscores its commitment to tackling insecurity and dismantling criminal networks operating within Oyo State.
The government reaffirmed its resolve to strengthen security measures and ensure that criminal elements do not find safe havens within the State.
