I have no link with Adelabu’s sister, twins’ abduction – APC guber candidate

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 to DAILY POST 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”.
