Following a tactical operation by the Nigeria Police, the younger sister of former Minister of Power Chief Adebayo Adelabu, Mrs. Olaide Busayo Adegoke John-Paul, and her 12-year-old twin sons, Peter and Paul, have been safely rescued from their captors.

They were rescued alive during a rescue operation carried Saturday (today).

According to Channels Television, two suspected kidnappers were neutralised in a gun duel with police operatives, while two firearms were recovered from the gang.

Recall that they were abducted around 7:30 a.m. on June 3, 2026, while on their way to drop the children at school.
