Supporters of renowned radio presenter Alhaji Oriyomi Hamzat have taken to the streets of Ibadan to express their discontent and protest his continued detention. The arrest is linked to a tragic incident that occurred at a children’s funfair, which resulted in a devastating stampede and the loss of at least 36 children’s lives.
Hamzat, along with Queen Naomi, the event organizer, and several others, faces murder charges over the unfortunate event. The situation has drawn widespread attention, with his supporters vehemently insisting on his innocence and demanding his immediate release.
A viral video captured the protesters, many of whom were women and mothers, taking to the streets with placards and chanting slogans such as “Free Oriyomi Hamzat.” The group maintained that Hamzat’s arrest was unwarranted,
