Monday, June 8, 2026 - The gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, for the 2027 general elections in Oyo State, Senator Sharafadeen Alli, has denied any links with the abduction of one of the sisters of the immediate past Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu and her twins.
Alli’s denial is contained in a statement issued
on Sunday, in Ibadan.
Recall that the minister’s sister and her sons were
kidnapped earlier last week, but were rescued Saturday night
following the raid of a township apartment by the police after a tip off.
Rumours, however, surfaced in the early hours of
Sunday, linking the abduction incident to the APC gubernatorial
candidate.
But, Alli, in a statement made available on Sunday,
described the rumour as false and deceptive, lamenting it was an attempt to
discredit him.
He urged members of the public to disregard the rumours
totally and called on security agencies to unravel the circumstances that led
to the abduction.
He also demanded an investigation into the source of the
rumour.
Alli said “We categorically describe the publication as
irresponsible, defamatory, politically motivated and completely devoid of
credibility.
“We urge members of the public to disregard the publication
in its entirety and avoid spreading falsehood capable of undermining ongoing
security investigations or causing unnecessary political tension”.
