Following her incarceration for the terrible stampede at a funfair in Ibadan that killed 35 children and injured six more, prophetess Naomi Silekunola, the former queen of the Ooni of Ife, reportedly fainted on Friday.
When more than 7,500 kids tried to enter a space intended for 5,000 people, a rush broke out. After being taken into custody, Naomi reportedly passed out on Friday.
For medical attention, she and Hamzat were taken to the Police Hospital in Eleyele.
Their entrance was confirmed by a top hospital official, who said, “They are both at the hospital right now. However, since the police have secured the area, I am unable to provide any more information.
According to reports, Kayode Egbetokun, the Inspector General of Police (IG), took over the investigation into the catastrophic stampede.
As officials look into what caused the deadly stampede, this discovery coincides with popular indignation and demands for accountability.
