The management of Agidigbo FM has denied reports claiming that its chairman Oriyomi Hamzat, estranged wife of Ooni of Ife Naomi Silekunola and the Principal of Islamic High School Abdullahi Fasasi, have been released from prison custody.
In a statement on Saturday shared on Oriyomi Hamzat’s Facebook page, the management described reports of their release as “fake news” and urged the public to disregard them.
The statement, however, warned those spreading the news to desist from such act.
The statement reads, “The Management of Agidigbo FM has described as fake news, the rumour circulating round that the chairman of Agidigbo 88.7FM Oriyomi Hamzat, ex-queen of Ooni of Ife Naomi Silekunola and the Principal of Islamic High School Abdullahi Fasasi, have been released from prison, therefore urged the public to disregard the rumour and warned those spreading it to desist from such act.
“Stop the spread of fake news!!”
InsightMedia reported on Saturday that Naomi Silekunola, who is being detained at Agodi prison following the stampede that claimed the lives of 35 people in Ibadan, Oyo State, was on hunger strike.
It quoted the mother, Mrs Funmilayo Ogunseyi, to have revealed this in an interview, claiming that when she visited her on Thursday at the custodial centre, she wasn’t feeling fine.
“She wasn’t happy about the whole incident. She loves children. The queen loves and helps children, single mothers, old women, and widows. She is still in pain that those children lost their lives because her intention was pure,” Ogunseyi said.
