Kudos to @PoliceNG.

I was in Oyo Town earlier this week. This morning, as I was about to go out, I saw a crowd of people and police officers near Ilora Bridge 🚓. I waited for a few minutes to find out what was happening.
I called a man nearby and asked what was going on. He told me that the police had arrested some suspected kidnappers.
I asked him how the police knew they were kidnappers. He explained that the police were conducting routine checks on tinted vehicles. As the suspects' tinted vehicle approached, the police stopped it and asked them to wind down the windows immediately. At that moment, a woman inside the vehicle started shouting and begging the police to rescue her, saying that she had been kidnapped.
The police then ordered the occupants to come out of the vehicle, and during the search, they reportedly found a gun so sophisticated that even many Nigerian Army personnel do not carry such weapons.

Let's all be careful in Oyo Town. This situation is getting serious now.

May Allah bless our nation and all our security forces.

PRESS BRIEFING

OYO STATE POLICE COMMAND RESCUES KIDNAPPED WOMAN AND HER TWIN SONS, NEUTRALIZES TWO KIDNAPPERS, ARRESTS FOUR OTHERS, RECOVERS FIREARMS, AMMUNITION AND OPERATIONAL VEHICLES

Gentlemen of the press,

I welcome you all to this press briefing, and I thank you for your continued partnership in our collective quest for a safer and more secure Oyo State.

This press briefing is in furtherance of the earlier press release issued yesterday by the Force Public Relations Officer and is convened to provide a more vivid and comprehensive account of the events that led to the successful rescue of the abducted victims. It also serves to update the public on the coordinated intelligence-led operation that culminated in the neutralization of two kidnappers, the arrest of four principal suspects, and the recovery of firearms, ammunition, operational vehicles, and other incriminating exhibits.

The Oyo State Police Command hereby formally briefs the public on a significant operational breakthrough recorded in its ongoing efforts to combat kidnapping and other violent crimes across the State. The Command remains committed to transparency, accountability, and sustained collaboration with members of the public in the fight against crime.

The operation was a coordinated effort between the Force Intelligence Department–Intelligence Response Team (FID-IRT) and the Oyo State Police Command, working in synergy with other tactical units of the Nigeria Police Force.

The Command wishes to inform members of the public of a major operational breakthrough culminating in the successful rescue of a kidnapped woman and her twin sons, the neutralization of two armed kidnappers, the arrest of four other members and collaborators of the criminal syndicate, and the recovery of operational weapons, ammunition, vehicles, and other exhibits used in the commission of the crime.

The operation followed a distress report received on 3rd June, 2026, at about 7:30 a.m., regarding the abduction of one Mrs. Adegoke Olaide Busayo, aged 42 years, alongside her eleven-year-old twin sons, Peter and Paul. The victims were abducted by four armed suspects operating in an unregistered ash-coloured Toyota Camry at Elewura Street, Off Ring Road, Ibadan, while the mother was conveying the children to school.

Consequently, upon receipt of the report, acting on the directives of the Inspector-General of Police, the commissioner of Police Oyo State Police Command, ordered an immediate coordinated and intelligence-driven manhunt for the perpetrators. This led to the deployment of operatives of the FID-IRT in synergy with the Oyo State Police Command and other tactical teams to commence a comprehensive rescue and tracking operation.

Acting on initial intelligence gathered from the crime scene and surrounding environment, operatives intensified surveillance activities, which led to the arrest of one Wale Abolalewa, popularly known as "Oloro," a suspect already on the Command’s watchlist for related criminal activities. His arrest provided a critical entry point into the wider network of the kidnapping syndicate.

Building on this breakthrough, sustained interrogation and further investigative exploitation of intelligence led to the arrest of a second suspect, Dare Oyedele, popularly known as "Solution," identified as a key operational link within the gang’s structure.

Preliminary investigation revealed that the gang had earlier, in May 2026, attempted to recruit an insider within the victim’s household through one Segun, a staff member attached to the family. This formed part of a wider surveillance and reconnaissance plan during which the gang monitored the family’s movements, routines, and the schools attended by the children.

Further investigation revealed that the suspects later shifted from their initial target and proceeded with the actual abduction on 3rd June, 2026, using the unregistered ash-coloured Toyota Corolla.
