Ibadan stampede: Court grants Principal, Hamzat, Silekunola bail

An Oyo State High Court sitting in Ibadan, the state capital, has granted bail to the principal of Islamic High School, Bashorun, Ibadan, Mr. Abdullahi Fasasi; the proprietor of Agidigbo FM, Alhaji Oriyomi Hamzat; and Olori Naomi Silekunola.

The bail was granted by Justice K.B. Olawoyin on Monday. GALAXY TV reports that the trio were granted bail after the judge listened to the arguments of their counsels.

The three are being prosecuted over a stampede that occurred at the school, where thirty-five children died during the incident, which happened on Wednesday, December 18, 2024.

Earlier an Oyo State Magistrate Court in Iyaganku had earlier ordered that the trio be remanded at the Agodi Correctional Facility.
