Oyo Government Demolishes Suspected Kidnappers’ Hideout in Ibadan After Adelabu Family Abduction Case
The Oyo State Government has commenced the demolition of a building allegedly used as a hideout by kidnappers linked to the abduction of the sister of former Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu and her twin sons.
The development follows a recent police rescue operation that led to the safe recovery of the victims after several days in captivity.
Demolition Carried Out in Ibadan Community
Officials of the Oyo State Government reportedly moved heavy equipment to Lakoun Estate, Olomi-Olojuoro Road, in the Oluyole Local Government Area of Ibadan, where the suspected hideout was located.
The demolition exercise was carried out by personnel from the state Ministry of Public Works and Transportation, accompanied by security operatives.
Authorities say the action is part of ongoing efforts to dismantle criminal infrastructure used by kidnapping syndicates operating within the state.
Security Agencies Tighten Crackdown on Criminal Networks
The demolition comes days after the rescue of Mrs. Adegoke and her twin sons, who were abducted while returning from school-related activities.
Security agencies have continued to intensify operations across identified criminal hotspots in the region.
Officials say further investigations are ongoing to track down other members of the kidnapping network believed to be operating across multiple locations.
Government Signals Stronger Anti-Kidnapping Response
The Oyo State Government has consistently pledged to take firm action against criminal activities, particularly kidnapping, which has raised security concerns in parts of the state.
Authorities say the latest demolition reflects a broader strategy to deter future criminal operations by targeting known hideouts.
More details are expected as the situation develops.
