PRESS RELEASE NIGERIA POLICE FORCE CONFIRMS SAFE RESCUE OF ABDUCTED WOMAN AND HER TWIN SONS
The Nigeria Police Force announces the successful rescue of Mrs. Olaide Busayo Adegoke John-Paul and her 12-year-old twin sons, Peter and Paul, who were abducted on June 3, 2026, in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The hostages were rescued during a coordinated operation by the Force Intelligence Department Intelligence Response Team (FID-IRT) in Ibadan at approximately 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 6, 2026.
Mrs. Adegoke and her children were abducted while she was driving them to school at about 7:30 a.m. on June 3, 2026. The rescue was achieved through sustained intelligence gathering, surveillance, and tactical operations. These efforts enabled investigators to track the kidnappers’ movements, resulting in a confrontation with FID-IRT operatives.
During the confrontation, two suspected kidnappers were fatally wounded and two rifles were recovered. The victims were rescued unharmed and are now in safe custody, receiving medical care and support.
The Inspector-General of Police commends the courage, professionalism, and effectiveness of the FID-IRT operatives and all officers involved. Their resilience and commitment were instrumental in the safe rescue of the hostages.
Security operatives have intensified efforts in the area to apprehend fleeing members of the kidnapping syndicate. Preliminary intelligence indicates that some suspects escaped with gunshot injuries. Operations are ongoing to track, arrest, and bring all involved to justice.
The Nigeria Police Force appreciates the public’s support, cooperation, and patience during the operation. We remain committed to combating violent crime, protecting lives and property, and ensuring the safety of all citizens.

The President was very impressed with the logistics we deployed across the country, the tactics we’ve used. He has also been very impressed with the reduced number of incidents that we have across the country. He’s happy with what we’re doing.
- Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, the APC National Chairman after meeting with President Tinubu in Lagos
Speaking at the Africa CEO Forum Presidential Panel yesterday evening in Kigali, I re-emphasised that Africa must put Africa first whilst creating opportunities for intra-Africa collaboration between our countries.
Our continent cannot build scale by looking outward first. We must invest in one another, trade more with one another, build the corridors that connect our markets, ensure our innovative youthful population get the support they need, and give African businesses the confidence to expand across African borders.
Nigeria’s reforms are not only about fixing yesterday. They are about preparing our economy to lead in the Africa of tomorrow. With AfCFTA, digital trade, shared infrastructure, stronger logistics, commodities exchange, and deeper private sector partnerships, we can turn Africa’s population and resources into real continental prosperity. The global risk and financial architecture must also give Africa a fair deal that recognises our local nuances and contexts.
I thank my brother, President Paul Kagame, for his warm hospitality and for Rwanda’s continued leadership in showing what discipline, clarity and execution can do for development.
Nigeria will continue to work with Rwanda and other African partners to build a continent that produces more, trades more, connects better, and competes with greater confidence in the world.
Africa’s future will not be handed to us. We must build it, own it, and defend it together.
~ Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR
I was pleased to meet with Managing Director of @IFC_org, Makthar Diop @Diop_IFC and his team in Kigali on the margins of the Africa CEO Forum.
Nigeria welcomes IFC’s work in advancing a PPP infrastructure pipeline to help address our annual urban infrastructure gap of about $14 billion. This is the type of practical partnership our reforms are designed to unlock.
From urban infrastructure to water, land transportation, energy access, MSME finance, and local currency solutions, we are building a framework that can move capital into real projects, create jobs, improve productivity, and strengthen regional connectivity with our neighbours.
Nigeria is ready for serious capital, credible partners, and bankable projects. Under our Renewed Hope Agenda, we must turn ambition into delivery, and delivery into better lives for our people.
I look forward to deepening this partnership with IFC and the @WorldBankGroup as we build infrastructure for growth, inclusion, and shared prosperity.

How can NDC National Leader be visiting Kwakwanso house with Obi to discuss their convention and you expect Kwankwanso not to get the Presidential ticket
Look back at your journey to see how far you have come from where you began. It didn't happen overnight. Road wasn't smooth. There were bumps. There was darkness. There were twists and turns. Yet you arrived here because you didn't give up. Learn from your own life. Keep going.
Wishing you a Super Saturday
