The high court of Oyo sitting in Ibadan grants bail to ex-wife of the Ooni of Ife, Naomi Silekunola, Oriyomi Hamzat and the principal of Islamic high school, Bashorun, Abdullahi Fasasi.
The presiding judge, Justice Kamorudeen Olawoyin gave the order in Ibadan while ruling on the bail applications of the three defendants.
The defendants were arrested over the ill-fated children’s festive party in December 2024 which claimed the lives of at least 35 children following a stampede at the Islamic high school, Bashorun, Ibadan.
The Oyo state government has filed 18 counts charge against the defendants in a matter where they are yet to take their pleas.
