The Nigeria Police Force has rescued Mrs. Olaide Busayo Adegoke John-Paul and her 12-year-old twin sons, Peter and Paul, during a late-night rescue operation.
According to a source within the Force, two suspected kidnappers were killed in a gun battle with police operatives, while two firearms were recovered from the suspects.
The victims, including the younger sister of former Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, were abducted while on their way to drop the children at school in Ibadan, Oyo State.
Police sources stated that sustained intelligence gathering and tactical operations placed pressure on the kidnappers, eventually forcing them into a confrontation with security operatives. The encounter led to the successful rescue of the victims.
The source further disclosed that security personnel are continuing search operations in nearby areas for other members of the kidnapping gang. Some of the fleeing suspects are believed to have escaped with gunshot wounds.
The rescued victims were recovered alive, and efforts are ongoing to apprehend the remaining members of the syndicate.
