Mrs. Olufunmilayo Adelabu, mother of former Minister of Power, Bayo Adelabu, has recounted how she wept over the abduction of schoolchildren in Oriire Local Government Area, Oyo state, only for her own daughter and twin grandsons to be kidnapped the following day.

Mrs Adelabu made the revelation in a viral video posted by Oyo Affairs on Sunday following the safe rescue of her last daughter, Olaide Adegoke, and her twin grandsons.

The family was abducted by gunmen on Tuesday, June 3, 2026, in Ibadan.

They were rescued ‘unharmed’ on Saturday night by police operatives during an operation in which two suspected kidnappers were neutralised.
