The Oyo State Government, under the leadership of Governor Seyi Makinde, has commenced the demolition of a building allegedly used as a hideout by the kidnappers who abducted the sister of former Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, along with her twin sons.
The property, situated within Lakoun Estate on Olomi-Olojuoro Road in Oluyole Local Government Area, was reportedly occupied by the suspects before the victims were successfully rescued by police operatives.
The victims were kidnapped last Wednesday and regained their freedom on Saturday following a coordinated rescue operation by security agencies.
According to reports on Monday, officials from the Oyo State Ministry of Public Works and Transportation deployed demolition machinery to the site to bring down the structure. The exercise was conducted under the watch of personnel of the Nigeria Police Force, who provided security throughout the operation.
Residents of the area were said to have watched as government officials commenced the demolition of the suspected hideout.
The development came days after the police rescued Adelabu’s sister and her twins from their abductors.
The incident had sparked concern among residents, especially as kidnapping cases continue to generate public anxiety in parts of the country.
Security operatives were said to have traced the victims to the hideout before securing their release.
The demolition is believed to be part of the state government’s response to criminal activities and its effort to discourage the use of residential buildings as hideouts by kidnappers and other criminal groups.
The state government has yet to issue a detailed official statement on the demolition as of the time of filing this report.
However, the presence of government officials and police operatives at the scene confirmed that the building was being pulled down under official supervision.
