Adelabu’s Family Kidnap Shows No Nigerian Is Safe Under Tinubu’s Government – Atiku

Former Vice President and ADC presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has condemned the abduction of former Power Minister Adebayo Adelabu’s sister and her children in Ibadan, Oyo State.

In a statement by his spokesperson, Phrank Shaibu, Atiku described the incident as further proof of Nigeria’s worsening insecurity, saying no citizen is safe under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

The Oyo State Police Command confirmed the kidnapping and said investigations are ongoing.

Atiku expressed solidarity with the Adelabu family and called for the victims’ immediate and unconditional release. He noted that the abduction reportedly occurred at Challenge Bus Stop, one of Ibadan’s busiest locations, highlighting the severity of the security crisis.

He urged the Tinubu administration to abandon its reactive approach and adopt a comprehensive, intelligence-driven strategy to dismantle kidnapping gangs, secure communities, and restore public confidence in the nation’s security system.
