VIDEO: Oyo demolishes kidnappers’ den following rescue of Adelabu’s relatives

The Oyo State Government has demolished a building used as a kidnapper's hideout in Ibadan, following the successful rescue of the sister of former Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, and her twin sons. The structure, located in the Lakoun community along Ayegun-Olojuoro Road, was identified as the operational base for the abduction.

Local media platforms shared videos of the demolition, confirming the government's swift action after the criminal den was identified. The operation followed a high-powered security assessment of the site led by the Oyo State Commissioner of Police, Oluwagbemiga Abimbola, on Sunday.

During the rescue operation over the weekend, security forces shot and killed two members of the kidnapping syndicate. Four other suspects involved in the abduction were apprehended and subsequently paraded at the State Police Headquarters in Eleyele, Ibadan. Authorities urged residents to remain vigilant and report any fleeing members of the syndicate.

The demolition of the hideout signifies a strong stance against criminal activities in the state and aims to dismantle the infrastructure used by abductors. The government's decisive action underscores its commitment to ensuring the safety and security of its citizens.
