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.
