Oyo demolishes building used by Adelabu family’s kidnappers + Video

The Oyo State Government has demolished a three-bedroom bungalow in the Lako Community along the Aiyegun–Anaye Road axis of Ibadan.

The structure was 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.

Recall that the victims, Mrs Olaide Busayo Adegoke John-Paul and her 12-year-old twin sons, Peter and Paul, were abducted at Elewura in the Challenge area of Ibadan on Wednesday, June 3, 2026.

Following their rescue, the demolition of the kidnappers’ den 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.

The team visited the property as part of the state government’s ongoing efforts to tackle kidnapping and other criminal activities across Oyo State.

According to the state government, the demolition underscores its commitment to tackling insecurity and dismantling criminal networks operating within the state.

The government reiterated its resolve to ensure that individuals involved in criminal activities, as well as facilities used to facilitate such crimes, are identified and dealt with in accordance with the law.
