The Nigeria Police Force has released footage showing the rescue of Busayo John-Paul, younger sister of former Minister of Power Adebayo Adelabu, and her 12-year-old twin sons, Peter and Paul, three days after they were abducted in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The video, released on Sunday, showed operatives of the Force Intelligence Department–Intelligence Response Team (FID-IRT) carrying out the operation in Ibadan, where at least two suspected abductors were arrested in a residential building.
According to the police, the victims were rescued at about 7:30 p.m. on Saturday following days of intelligence gathering, surveillance and coordinated tactical operations.
Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Anthony Okon Placid, said the operation led to a confrontation with the kidnappers.
“During the confrontation, two suspected kidnappers were fatally wounded and two rifles were recovered,” the statement said.
He added that the rescued victims were found unharmed and have since been receiving medical attention and support.
The police also said efforts were ongoing to track other members of the kidnapping network who escaped from the scene, noting that some suspects may have sustained gunshot injuries during the operation.
The victims were abducted on June 3 while being taken to school in Ibadan, an incident that triggered concern across Oyo State.
Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, had earlier visited Adelabu, assuring him that security agencies were working to secure the victims’ release.
“I assured him that the security agencies are working towards their safe return, and we discussed some of the measures our administration is putting in place to further strengthen our security architecture in Oyo State,” Makinde said.
The Force spokesperson stated that security agencies have continued efforts to secure the release of the abducted schoolchildren and strengthen security across the state.
