The Oyo State Government has demolished a building allegedly used as a hideout by suspects involved in the abduction of relatives of former Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu.
The three-bedroom bungalow, located in Lako Community along the Aiyegun-Anaye Road in Ibadan, was pulled down on Monday as part of efforts to combat kidnapping and other criminal activities in the state.
The victims, Mrs Olaide Busayo Adegoke John-Paul and her 12-year-old twin sons, Peter and Paul, were kidnapped on June 3, 2026, at the Elewura area of Challenge in Ibadan.
They were later rescued by operatives of the Nigeria Police Force following a tactical operation that led to the arrest of suspects allegedly connected to the crime.
Officials of the Oyo State Ministry of Public Works and Transportation carried out the demolition exercise with security support from police personnel.
The state government said the action was aimed at dismantling criminal networks and denying kidnappers and other criminals access to safe havens within the state.
Authorities reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening security and warned that properties linked to criminal activities would face appropriate sanctions in accordance with the law.
The government added that efforts to rid the state of kidnapping and other violent crimes would continue through collaboration between security agencies and relevant stakeholders.
