A video showing the red sedan that sister of former Minister of Power and All Progressive Congress governorship aspirant in Oyo State, Adebayo Adelabu, and her twin children were kidnapped from her emerged on social media.

The video that has gone viral showed the car doors left wide open while there were major dents to the body.

The window glass of the driver’s seat was smashed, with fragments scattered on the dusty ground.

The said incident happened on Wednesday, June 3 in the Challenge area of Ibadan South-West Local Government Area of the state.

As onlookers gathered, a visibly worried woman in the video was heard saying that the victim is the younger sister of “Penkelemesi,” Adelabu’s popular nickname.

Another male voice in the video said, “She is the last-born (of the family) of Bayo Adelabu, Penkele.”

PUNCH Online had earlier reported that one of the former minister’s media aides, Femi Awogboro, confirmed the incident.

He said, “Adelabu’s younger sister, together with her twins (Peter and Paul), were kidnapped this morning (Wednesday) by unknown gunmen at Elewura, Challenge, Ibadan.

“The family members were going out this morning from Elewura to link the expressway when they were attacked and whisked away by the unknown kidnappers.”

Reacting, the Oyo State Police Public Relations Officer, Olayinka Ayanlade, said, “I cannot independently verify this for now, but please hold on.”

The incident occurred weeks after over 40 teachers and students were reportedly kidnapped on Friday, May 15, 2026, during a coordinated attack in the Ahoro-Esiele area of Oriire Local Government Area of the state.

It will also be recalled that an APC chieftain in the state, Wale Oriade, was abducted by armed men in Ibadan, the state capital, in December 2025.
