Episode Details

A father who snatched his five-year-old son from France and fled to Nigeria was mistakenly freed from prison just days after being sentenced — sparking a frantic manhunt and crushing the mother’s last hope of reunion. Ifedayo Adeyeye, jailed for contempt of court for failing to return Laurys, was released on April 21st, a day after sentencing, and may have already vanished across the border. Claire N’Djosse, Laurys’s mother, called the prison system’s error “betrayal,” saying his imprisonment had been the only glimmer of hope she’d had in nearly two years. The High Court had previously labeled the abduction “cruel” and Adeyeye a “dangerous threat.” Police are now racing to recapture him as the Ministry of Justice scrambles to fix systemic failures — 179 inmates were wrongly released in the past year alone. A major digital overhaul is underway to prevent future mistakes, while an independent review’s recommendations are being implemented.
