UPDATED: Police Rescue Ex-Power Minister Adelabu’s Sister, Her Two Children
Two suspected kidnappers were neutralised in a gun duel with police operatives, while two firearms were recovered from the gang.
The Nigeria Police Force has rescued Mrs Olaide Busayo Adegoke John-Paul and her 12-year-old twin sons, Peter and Paul, alive during a late-night rescue operation carried out around 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 6, 2026.
According to a source in the Force, two suspected kidnappers were neutralised in a gun duel with police operatives, while two firearms were recovered from the gang.
The victims, including the younger sister of the former Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, were abducted around 7:30 a.m. on June 3, 2026, while on their way to drop the children at school in Ibadan, Oyo State.
Police sources disclosed that sustained intelligence tracking and tactical pressure forced the kidnappers into a confrontation with operatives, leading to the successful rescue of the victims.
The source disclosed that security operatives are still combing nearby areas for fleeing members of the kidnapping syndicate, some of whom are believed to have escaped with gunshot wounds.
In a statement confirming her abduction, Adelabu’s media aide, Femi Awogboro, said the victims were kidnapped at about 7:30 a.m. while Mrs John-Paul was taking her children to school, leaving the family in distress.
“We are deeply distressed by this unfortunate incident but remain hopeful that the victims will be rescued safely. We appeal to the public to remain calm, avoid speculation, and support ongoing efforts with prayers,” the family’s statement read in part.
She is the youngest of five children of Mrs Olufunmilayo Aduke Adegoke Adelabu, who reportedly retired voluntarily from her career at First Bank Pension Custodian in 2025 before relocating to Ibadan with her children.

The public is hereby advised to disregard the purported Certificate of Return being paraded by one Busari Olakunle Moruf, as it is not authentic.
For the avoidance of doubt, Certificates of Return are traditionally issued and duly signed by the National Executive Committee of the party. Any document not issued through this established process lacks legitimacy and should be treated as such.
The authentic Certificate of Return will be issued by Accord National Executive Committee to the winner of the Primary election at the appropriate time and in accordance with the party’s constitution and procedures.
Members of the public and party faithful are therefore urged not to be misled by unauthorized documents or actions aimed at creating confusion within the party.
