A Chief Magistrate Court in Iyaganku, Ibadan, on Tuesday, ordered the remand of three persons in connection with last week’s stampede at Bashorun Islamic High School that left many dead.
The individuals include Mr. Abdullahi Fasasi, the school’s principal; Alhaji Oriyomi Hamzat, the proprietor of Agidigbo FM; and Naomi Silekunola, the ex-wife of Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ile Ife.
The individuals were arraigned by the Oyo State Police Command on four count charges related to the tragic incident.
The police prosecutor cited a violation of Section 324 of the Criminal Code, Cap. 38, Vol. II, Laws of Oyo State, 2000.
After hearing the charges, Chief Magistrate Ogunkanmi ordered that the three individuals be remanded at Agodi Correctional Centre while awaiting further guidance from the state prosecutor.
