The Oyo State Government has demolished a three-bedroom bungalow allegedly used as a hideout by suspects involved in the abduction of relatives of former Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu.
The property, located in the Lako Community along the Aiyegun-Anaye Road in Ibadan, was reportedly identified during investigations into the kidnapping of Mrs. Olaide Busayo Adegoke John-Paul and her 12-year-old twin sons, Peter and Paul.
The victims were abducted on June 3, 2026, in the Elewura area of Challenge, Ibadan, before being rescued by police following a tactical operation that led to the arrest of suspected members of the kidnapping syndicate.
The demolition was carried out on Monday by officials of the Oyo State Ministry of Public Works and Transportation, with security provided by operatives of the Nigeria Police Force.
According to the state government, the action is part of ongoing measures to tackle kidnapping, dismantle criminal networks, and prevent criminals from using properties as operational bases within the state.
