The Oyo State Government has demolished a residential building in Ibadan allegedly linked to the kidnappers of the younger sister of former Minister of Power, Bayo Adelabu, and her children.
The property, a three-bedroom bungalow situated in the Lako Community along Aiyegun-Anaye Road, was said to have served as a hideout for the suspected abductors.
The demolition was carried out by officials of the Oyo State Ministry of Public Works and Transportation, with security provided by operatives of the Nigeria Police Force.
The action followed ongoing investigations into the abduction of Mrs. Olaide Busayo Adegoke John-Paul and her 12-year-old twin sons, Peter and Paul, who were kidnapped at the Elewura area of Challenge, Ibadan, on June 3, 2026.
According to the state government, the demolition forms part of measures aimed at tackling kidnapping and other criminal activities across the state.
The government maintained that it remains committed to strengthening security and dismantling criminal hideouts used by individuals involved in unlawful activities.
