The Oyo State Police Command has released five individuals arrested in connection with the Ibadan funfair tragedy that claimed the lives of 35 children at the Islamic High School, Orita Basorun, Ibadan.
However, other suspects, including the former wife of the Ooni of Ife, Naomi Silekunola; Oriyomi Hamzat, owner of Agidigbo FM, an Ibadan-based radio station; and the school’s principal, Fasasi Abdulahi, are set to be arraigned in court today.
Those released from custody include Genesis Christopher (24), Tanimowo Moruf (52), Anisolaja Olabode (42), Idowu Ibrahim (35), and Abiola Oluwatimilehin (25). Sources confirm the five regained their freedom on Monday.
A police source disclosed that the arraignment of the remaining suspects, including Hamzat—who was reportedly arrested on his hospital bed—will proceed on Tuesday.
