JUSTICE Kamorudeen Olawoyin of a High Court sitting in Ibadan has granted bail to three suspects remanded over a food queue stampede that claimed the lives of 35 minors in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, last December.
The three suspects are ex-Queen Naomi Silekunola, Ibadan-based broadcaster Oriyomi Hamzat and a school principal Abdullahi Fasasi.
The trio spent Christmas and New Year in detention after they were arrested and remanded over the tragic incident.
The accused are facing four counts of conspiracy, acceleration of death, negligent acts causing harm, and failure to provide adequate security and medical facilities.
The Judge gave five conditions for the bail to include: N10 million and two sureties who must submit landed documents within the jurisdiction of the court.
The other conditions are that the applicant must deposit their international passport with the court and they are barred from granting any form of interview during the pendency of the case.
