Police Command in Abuja has stated that the two younger brothers of reality TV star, Ilebaye Odiniya are in protective custody after a domestic altercation involving the former Big Brother Naija winner and her father in Abuja.
Police spokesperson SP Josephine Adeh said the boys, Godson Emmanuel Odiniya, 14, and Devin Emmanuel Odiniya, 10, were rescued alongside Ilebaye after officers responded to a distress call from Royal Anchor Estate in Wuye in the early hours of Friday.
"Following the rescue of Ms. Ilebaye Odiniya Emmanuel and her two brothers, they were rushed to Yabisam Hospital, Lugbe, alongside their father, who also sustained injuries during the confrontation.
"The rescued siblings are currently in police protective custody, contrary to circulating publications online, while their father, who is also receiving medical treatment, remains in police custody," Adeh said on Sunday.
According to the Command, officers from Wuye Division, supported by operatives from the Department of Operations, arrived at the residence around midnight but could not gain immediate access as the gate was locked.

Access was gained at about 2:30 am, where Ilebaye was found with visible bruises.
She was taken to NNPC Multispecialty Hospital (NMSH) in Abuja for treatment alongside her brothers.
According to the Command, investigations are ongoing and questioning will begin once all parties are medically certified stable.
The confrontation reportedly began when Ilebaye visited the residence to see her brothers and discuss plans for her 24th birthday before an argument broke out.
Due to the development, fresh attention has erupted on a long-standing family dispute following the reported separation of the children’s parents after a 32-year marriage.
