She further appealed to the Ooni of Ife to get involved in the matter and noted that Olori Naomi learned from him to help and give to the less privileged.

Mama No Network pleaded with the Ooni to speak up, saying his silence could turn something positive into a negative situation.

She stated:

"If we say we should keep quiet, we don't know the next person that it will affect.

"I beg our excellent Bola Tinubu to look into the issue. I appeal to you to do something. I also beg the Ooni if Ife, if we fight it is not like dying. I know that you have helped others in the past and have given out sewing machines, and I know Olori Naomi learned from you. Please look into the issue.

"Oriyomi Hazmat once invited me, and I went to his children's program. Nothing happened then.

"I also appeal to gov Seyi to look into the issue and help look into the issue. They just wanted to help others. May our good deed not turn into something else. Ooni, pls speak; your silence is not good; may our good deeds not turn into something else. I don't think this issue should turn into a case."

d_dejoke:

"So the parents that threw their children through the fence should be spared?the stampede that happened when government shared rice then,who was held responsible? Stampede happened in Abuja and in the East, why was no one held responsible? Why does this look like there's something behind this? Arresting them is ok but reminding them in prison is extreme...may you not be implicated while doing good."

"This post is not necessary! If truly you are concerned go to Ooni's palace because Baba has intercede and he's doing that underground if you can meet him physically u'll confirm this coz I'm closer to the family! Also try n clarify the part of Olori, Naomi can to this same IG to announced divorce, do u know what that means?. Aah she rubbished the whole throne of Arole Oodua! Walking with silence would have been better.

"Lastly they can't suffer in remand, there is holiday if they should free them, aggrieved relations of the victims might destroy Oriyomi Hamzat's office and house, they may even go to Akure to do same for Naomi. ! Relations of the victims won't be happy seeing people care less about them. The best support is people to try n visit them, console n gift them enough, pray with them as well. It is hunger n starvation that made them lost their kids so people should not neglect them. 35 souls ko kere o! Almighty God will vindicate Naomi & Alh Oriyomi Hamzat. He will console family of the victims as well."
