Mrs Busayo Adegoke John-Paul, the sister of former Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, and her twin sons, who were abducted earlier in the week, have now regained their freedom.
According to The Punch, A senior police source confirmed in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, that the victims were successfully rescued during the night.
According to reports by The Punch, John-Paul, who is the biological sister of Adelabu, was kidnapped alongside her 12-year-old twin boys at Elewura-Challenge in the Ibadan South-West Local Government Area.
The incident was carried out by armed men who reportedly trailed the vehicle conveying the victims from their residence before intercepting them and stopping the car at about 7:30am at the location.
In a related development, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in the state, Wale Oriade, was also abducted in Ibadan earlier in December 2025.
He was reportedly seized around 7:06pm at his office located at PJ Square Shopping Complex, beside the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited station in Elewure, along the Iyana Ajanla axis of the Akala Expressway, New Garage, Ibadan.
Eyewitnesses described how the attackers arrived in a blue Micra vehicle with two occupants, one driving and the other armed, before forcefully taking Oriade away in the same vehicle.
“The nature of the attack and the precision with which it was carried out have caused deep concern within his community,” the eyewitness.
