British-Nigerian Man Jailed for Abd¥cting 5-Year-Old Son Still at Large After Accidental Release From U.K Prison
A British-Nigerian man jailed in the United Kingdom for abducting his five-year-old son remains on the run after prison authorities mistakenly released him, in a case a judge has described as a major institutional failure.
Ifedayo Adedapo Kolawoe Adeyeye was freed from HMP Pentonville on April 21, 2026, despite having an additional one-year sentence to serve before his planned extradition to France. The error was only discovered two days later, prompting an urgent manhunt.
