The former Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has firmly dismissed allegations connecting his Personal Assistant, Ajiboye Sangogade, to the abduction of his sister and her twins. In a statement issued on Wednesday via his media aide, Femi Awogboro, Adelabu categorically refuted the claims as unfounded.
It was earlier reported that Mrs. Busayo Adegoke, a younger sibling of the former minister, along with her twin children, was kidnapped last Wednesday. However, a joint security operation successfully rescued them on Saturday in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State.
Over the weekend, rumors circulated suggesting that Sangogade had provided intelligence to the kidnappers. Adelabu dismissed these as baseless, urging those spreading such narratives to cease immediately. He asserted that his assistant played no role in the incident, labeling the rumors a distraction.
“We have noticed that certain individuals, who oppose progress in Oyo State, are peddling falsehoods that my PA orchestrated the kidnapping. This is completely untrue and lacks any evidence,” Adelabu stated.
