A Chief Magistrates’ Court in Iyaganku, Ibadan, Oyo
State has ordered that Prophetess Naomi Silekunola an ex-wife of Ooni of Ile
Ife, Alhaji Oriyomi Hamzat and Abdullahi Fasasi be remanded at the Agodi
Correctional Center pending advice from the state prosecutor.
Silekunola, Hamzat who owns Agidigbo FM and Fasasi the
principal of Islamic High School, were arraigned on Tuesday over their
involvement in the December 18 Christmas Funfair stampede that led to the death
of 35 children.
At their arraignment by the police, the trio were
accused committing offence contrary to Section 324 of the Criminal Code, Cap.
38, Vol. II, Laws of Oyo State of Nigeria, 2000.
But the presiding Chief Magistrate sitting over the
matter, Olabisi Ogunkanmi, ruled that legal advice was needed on the matter.
