The Nigeria Police have rescued Mrs Olaide Busayo Adegoke John-Paul, the younger sister of former Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, along with her 12-year-old twin sons, Peter and Paul.
The victims were rescued alive during an operation carried out on Saturday.
According to Channels Television, two suspected kidnappers were neutralised during a gun battle with police operatives. Two firearms were also recovered from the gang.
Mrs John-Paul and her sons were abducted at about 7:30 a.m. on June 3, 2026, while she was taking the children to school.
Channels Television reported that police sources said sustained intelligence tracking and tactical pressure forced the kidnappers into a confrontation with security operatives, leading to the successful rescue of the victims.
The source added that security operatives are still searching nearby areas for other members of the kidnapping syndicate. Some of the suspects are believed to have escaped with gunshot wounds.
