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.
OBI EXPOSED: A little glimpse while still holding back much more. See how Obi flagrantly violated Nigerian Law when he became Governor? And I am not yet releasing the JUICY ONES O :
1. UK Registry Verification & Identity Deadlines
Public records from the United Kingdom's Companies House registry have updated specific operational compliance markers regarding the subject's older, active international appointments:
The Entity: The subject remains an active registered director of The Meridian International Ltd. (Company Number: FC016972), operating under his corporate profile title Gregory Peter O Obi.
The Compliance Trigger: According to official UK government registry tracking, an official compliance deadline was issued requiring identity verification by January 12, 2026. This is tied to sweeping anti-money laundering and corporate transparency updates implemented by the UK to clamp down on foreign directors operating international firms with registered addresses pointing overseas (the firm’s correspondence hub remains anchored at Plot 628, 1st Avenue, Festac, Lagos, Nigeria).
2. Operational Defunct Status of Flagship Firm
Further forensic auditing of the defunct Next International (UK) Limited (Company Number: 03199858) clarifies the precise timeline of his executive exit vs. public office crossover:
The Timeline Omission: While the company was ultimately dissolved via compulsory strike-off by UK authorities on September 7, 2021, official historical filings show that the subject formally assumed office as Governor of Anambra State on March 17, 2006.
The Delayed Resignation: Registry records confirm he did not formally step down as an active director of Next International (UK) until May 16, 2008—leaving a documented 14-month window where he simultaneously held executive public power in Nigeria and an active commercial directorship abroad. This sequence remains a fixed data point utilized by code-of-conduct compliance auditors.
Okay, over to Obidients. Do you still want me to release more? This one is only a teaser. More to come upon requests particularly by Obidients.
Abi una think sey I dey lie like una when I talk sey I don get serious stuff?

@OlayinkaLere@skarzdesigns It is high time we re-strategised in the South West. Forest in the South West must be sanitized. If you can't live in the city with human beings you must not stay in the forest with animals.
@ennyola0015@kayode_farmer The South West that PBAT comes from was in opposition for more than 40 years since independence.
He was once d leader of opposition groups.
Opposition can succeed in this dispensation if only PBAT joins them.
Consistent political strategy and elements of luck is the reason.
