Mrs. Olufunmilayo Adelabu, mother of former Minister of Power, Bayo Adelabu, has recounted the emotional ordeal she endured after praying for abducted schoolchildren in Oyo State, only to have her own daughter and twin grandsons kidnapped the following day.
Mrs. Adelabu shared the experience in a viral video circulated by Oyo Affairs on Sunday following the rescue of her last daughter, Olaide Adegoke, and her twin grandsons.
The family members were abducted by armed men in Ibadan on Tuesday, June 3, 2026, and regained their freedom on Saturday night after a police rescue operation that reportedly led to the neutralisation of two suspected kidnappers.
Bayo Adelabu’s mother thanked God for the safe rescue of her daughter and grandchildren, and prayed for the safe return of the Oriire kidnap victims. pic.twitter.com/zzwwqts7rP
