Queen Naomi

A High Court Sitting in Ibadan has dismissed the case involving the deaths of over 30 children at a 2024 Christmas funfair that took place at Basorun. Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

Justice Ladiran Akintola who gave the judgment cleared Queen Naomi, Oriyomi Hamzat, and school principal Abdulahi Fasasi of all charges.

According to the state prosecutor and the attorney General of the State, Abiodun Aikomo, the case was withdrawn after affected families showed empathy towards the defendants and requested its withdrawal.

He confirmed that some families had received compensation and seized documents had been returned.

The defendants were initially charged over the Funfair tragedy that claimed the lives of over 30 minors who died as a result of the stampede that ensued at the Funfair venue. -Channels
