Stampede: Court remands school principal, Ooni’s ex-queen, Oriyomi
A Chief Magistrate in Ibadan, Mrs. Olabisi Ogunkanmi, has ordered the remand of Prophetess Naomi Silekunola, former wife of the Ooni of Ife; Oriyomi Hamzat, owner of Agidigbo FM; and Fasasi Abdulahi, Principal of Bashorun Islamic High School, at the Agodi Correctional Facility.
The ruling came as the trio appeared before the Chief Magistrate Court 1, Iyaganku, on Tuesday. They face a four-count charge, including conspiracy, acceleration of death, negligent acts causing harm, and failure to provide adequate security and medical facilities.
The remand is pending legal advice from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) of the Oyo State Ministry of Justice.
The court premises saw heightened tension as Hamzat’s supporters gathered in large numbers. However, heavy security presence maintained order throughout the proceedings.
The situation briefly escalated when police vans transporting the suspects attempted to leave the premises, but security forces managed to diffuse the tension.
