Mrs Busayo Adegoke John-Paul, sister of former Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, and her twin sons, who were abducted earlier in the week, have regained their freedom.

A senior police source told the media in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, that they were rescued on Saturday night.

According to the media, John-Paul and her 12-year-old twin boys were kidnapped at Elewura-Challenge in the Ibadan South West Local Government Area of Oyo State.

The attackers, reportedly armed, were said to have trailed the vehicle conveying the victims from their residence before intercepting it around 7:30 a.m. at the scene of the incident.

It will also be recalled that a chieftain of APC in the state, Wale Oriade, was abducted by armed men in Ibadan, the state capital, in December, 2025.

It was gathered that the incident occurred around 7:06 pm at his office located at PJ Square Shopping Complex, beside the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited station, Elewure, along Iyana Ajanla, Akala Expressway, New Garage, Ibadan.

Eyewitnesses said the attackers arrived in a blue Micra vehicle with two occupants, a driver and an armed man, who forcibly seized Oriade and whisked him away in the same vehicle.

The eyewitness said the manner of the attack and the precision with which it was executed have raised serious concern within the community.
