Yoruba Nation activist Sunday Igboho has denied claims that he spearheaded the rescue mission for three kidnapped members of the Adelabu family in Oyo State.
The clarification comes in response to claims, notably mentioned by media personality Rufai Oseni, connecting Igboho to the successful operation.
Igboho explicitly stated that he was not involved in the rescue, emphasizing that the mission was executed entirely by law enforcement and security personnel.
According to him, these operatives successfully located the kidnappers’ hideout, freed the victims, and apprehended several suspects.
Igboho insisted that the credit belongs solely to the security agencies, calling any reports attributing the rescue to him inaccurate and misleading, while urging the public to depend only on verified facts.
The rescued individuals, who are the sister and twin sons of former Minister of Power Adebayo Adelabu, were freed in Ibadan.
The breakthrough has sparked broader conversations about security measures in the South-West region, drawing praise from local residents and officials for the quick response of the operatives.
Security authorities are maintaining ongoing investigations to ensure all individuals involved in the abduction face justice.
