A Chief Magistrate, Mrs. Olabisi Ogunkanmi, has ordered the remand of Prophetess Naomi Silekunola, the ex-wife of the Ooni of Ife; Oriyomi Hamzat, the owner of Agidigbo FM; and Bashorun Islamic High School Principal, Fasasi Abdulahi, at the Agodi Correctional Facility.
The ruling is pending advice from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) of the Oyo State Ministry of Justice.
They were arraigned on Tuesday before Chief Magistrate Court 1, Iyaganku, Ibadan, on a four-count charge of conspiracy, acceleration of death, negligent acts causing harm, and failure to provide adequate security and medical facilities.
The court premises witnessed tension as supporters of Hamzat gathered, but heavy security presence ensured order.
The situation nearly escalated when police vans conveying the suspects began leaving the court premises.
