The Police Command in Oyo State has confimed the successful rescue of Adebayo Adelabu’s sister, Busayo Adelabu-John Paul, and her two sons.
They were rescued barely three days after Adelabu-John Paul, a younger sister to the immediate past Minister of Power, and her twin sons were kidnapped in Ibadan while conveying the children to school.
The armed gunmen intercepted her at Elewura area of Challenge in Ibadan and forcefully took her away with the twins.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Oyo Command, Olayinka Ayanlade, confirmed the successful rescue operation in a terse statement made available to journalists on Saturday.
The abduction sent shockwaves through the family and the wider political community in Oyo State, given Adelabu’s prominence as a former minister and APC governorship hopeful.
