Charges have been dropped against the ex-Ooni of Ife Queen, Naomi Silekunola, and two others, Oriyomi Hamzat and Abdullahi Fasasi, in connection with the Ibadan stampede that resulted in the deaths of 35 children.
The three were initially facing a four-count charge related to conspiracy, murder, manslaughter, and negligence. They were arrested and remanded in custody following the tragic incident on December 18, 2024, at a Christmas funfair organized by Queen Naomi's Wings Foundation and Media partners Agidigbo FM.
Although the charges have been dropped, the case was previously adjourned until March 24, 2025, for mention. The Oyo State Government had initially opposed bail applications for the defendants, citing the need for thorough investigation.
