How Ex-power Minister Adelabu Sister, Twin Sons Were Abducted in Ibadan
Fresh details have emerged how gunmen abducted younger sister of a former Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, Olaide Busayo Adegoke John-Paul, and her twin sons in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
In a statement issued to newsmen on Wednesday, Adelabu’s media aide, Comrade Femi Awogboro confirmed the abduction of the trio by yet-to-be identified gunmen.
According to the statement, the victims were kidnapped in the early hours of Wednesday as John-Paul was taking her children to school.
The family said armed gunmen intercepted the 43-year-old at about 7:30am and forcefully took away her 12-year-old twin sons, Peter and Paul.
John-Paul is the youngest of the five children of Olufunmilayo Aduke Adegoke Adelabu.
Before her voluntary retirement last year, she worked at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and First Bank Pension Custodian.
Following her retirement, she relocated to Ibadan with her children while making plans to join her husband, John Paul, who had earlier moved to the United States of America.
The family disclosed that security and law enforcement agencies were immediately notified after the incident.
According to the statement, security operatives have commenced investigations and are working to secure the release of the victims and apprehend those responsible for the abduction.
The family said Adelabu and other relatives were deeply distressed by the development but remained hopeful that security agencies would rescue the victims safely.
It appealed to members of the public to remain calm and avoid spreading unverified information that could undermine ongoing security operations.
The family also called on Nigerians to support them with prayers during the difficult period.
It further urged anyone with useful information that could assist investigators to report such information through the appropriate security channels.
The statement added that the family would continue to cooperate with security agencies and provide updates as developments unfold.
