Ibadan, Oyo state - An Oyo state high court, Ring Road, Ibadan, on Monday, January 13, granted bail to Silekunola Naomi, Oriyomi Hazmat, and Abdulahi Fasasi over a deadly stampede incident.

As reported by The Nation, Justice K. B. Olawoyin gave the ruling following a bail application filed by the counsels of the trio.

Naomi is the ex-queen of Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ife, while Hamzat is a popular media entrepreneur in Ibadan. Fasasi is the embattled principal of Islamic High School, Bashorun, Ibadan. All three individuals were prosecuted due to the death of many children during a charity programme organised by Naomi.

The judge gave five conditions for the bail to include: N10 million and two sureties who must submit landed documents within the jurisdiction of the court.
