"Ifedayo Adeyeye was released from HMP Pentonville in London on April 21, having been jailed for contempt of court over the abduction of Laurys N'Djosse Adeyeye. Prison staff allowed the 58-year-old's release despite him being ordered to serve a 12-month sentence the day before, and being due to be extradited to France upon its completion."
"Mr Justice Hayden said at a hearing on Monday that following his release, Adeyeye strolled about the London area and had a very nice dinner (and) had quite a lot of drink at a local pub, before transferring thousands of pounds to others from a bank account. It is believed that he may have travelled to Spain the following day, all before prison staff contacted the Metropolitan Police in the afternoon of April 24."
"Mr Justice Hayden said: If the police had been contacted immediately, this could perhaps, almost certainly perhaps, have been prevented. The public is entitled to expect far better than this."
"Last June, the same judge ruled that Adeyeye, a dual British-Nigerian national, abducted Laurys from his mother, Claire N'Djosse, in France and took him to the African country via the UK. Laurys N'Djosse Adeyeye has not been seen by his mother for almost two years (High Court/PA)"
Ifedayo Adeyeye was released from HMP Pentonville in London on April 21 despite being ordered to serve a 12-month sentence for contempt of court over the abduction of his five-year-old son. Prison staff allowed the release even though he was due to be extradited to France after completing the sentence. After release, he was said to have walked around London, had a dinner, drank at a local pub, and transferred thousands of pounds from a bank account. Police were not contacted until the afternoon of April 24, and it was believed he may have traveled to Spain the next day. The High Court previously ordered his return of the child to the mother, even though the child did not live in the UK.
