EDITOR’S PICK

This decision follows the arrest of the three individuals and five others by the Oyo State Police Command in relation to the circumstances that led to the deaths of 35 children in the stampede.

They are to be remanded in the Agodi Correctional Facility pending the 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 also witnessed a bit of  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.
