Oyo State is facing severe security scrutiny after heavily armed gunmen launched a targeted morning ambush in Ibadan, abducting the immediate younger sister and nephews of the former Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu.
The emergency issue began trending across national security channels after the former minister’s media aide, Femi Awogboro, issued a formal statement confirming the family's distress.
On Wednesday, June 3, 2026, at approximately 7:30 a.m., 43-year-old Mrs. Olaide Busayo Adegoke John-Paul was driving her 12-year-old twin sons, Peter and Paul, to school along the Ring Road axis of Ibadan when their vehicle was intercepted by gunmen.

The victims were forcefully taken away to an unknown destination, leaving their abandoned vehicle at the scene.
The incident has caused significant public outcry, as Adelabu is not only a former minister but also a leading All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant in Oyo State. In response to the high-profile breach, the Oyo State Police Command has launched an intensive investigation and tactical manhunt.
The Commissioner of Police deployed the Challenge Division and specialized anti-kidnapping tactical units to secure the safe rescue of the mother and her children.
The family has appealed to the public for calm and prayers while cooperating fully with ongoing law enforcement intelligence operations.
