Operatives of the Nigeria Police Force have rescued Mrs. Busayo John-Paul, a 43-year-old younger sister of former Minister of Power and All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant, Adebayo Adelabu, along with her twin sons in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
The victims were rescued alive during a late-night rescue operation carried out around 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 6.
Two suspected kidnappers were neutralised in a gun duel with police operatives, while two firearms were recovered from the gang.
Police sources disclosed that sustained intelligence tracking and tactical pressure forced the kidnappers into a confrontation with operatives, leading to the successful rescue of the victims.
Security operatives are currently combing nearby areas for fleeing members of the kidnapping syndicate, some of whom are believed to have escaped with gunshot wounds.
