Justice Ladiran Akintola of Oyo State High Court, Ibadan, yesterday struck out the charges against former Queen Naomi Ogunwusi, a radio presenter, Oriyomi Hamzat and the Principal of Islamic High School, Basorun, Ibadan, Abdullahi Fasasi.
Justice Akintola also ordered the release of the defendants’ international passports.
During the court session, the judge, in a light-hearted tone, advised the defendants to be guided and avoid similar issues in future.
Oyo State Attorney-General, Abiodun Aikomo, addressing the media after the court session, described the incident that led to the death of many children as unfortunate.
Aikomo argued that in law, when a death occurred and the circumstances were not natural, the law would take its course.
