YORUBA NATION: 7 AGITATORS REMANDED OVER INVASION OF IBADAN RADIO STATION
Seven Yoruba Nation agitators have been ordered to be remanded at the Abolongo Correctional Facility in Oyo by an Iyaganku magistrate court in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The accused, dragged to court for invading a radio station in Ibadan last month, were ordered remanded pending the time when their case would be decided.
Recall that last month, some individuals who claimed to be Yoruba Nation broke into Amuludun FM 99.1 in Ibadan last month, taking control of the station for an hour before being apprehended.
The persons arrested in relation to the incident included Noah Atoyebi, Adeleke Gbenga, Abdulganiyu Mustapha, Bashiru Kehinde, Ifagbola Elijah, Oladapo Ajani, and Rasheed Jimoh.
They were charged on Monday with four counts of conspiracy and treason as well as two counts of armed robbery.
Counsel to one of the defendants, Barrister Abiodun Adeleke, requested medical attention for his client, Adeleke Gbenga, to which the prosecution officer, Inspector Folake Ewe, did not object.
Magistrate P. O. Adetuyi, who presided over the matter, did not take the plea of the defendants but ordered their remand at the Abolongo correctional facility located in Oyo.
Adetuyi added that the case file should be duplicated and sent to the office of the Directorate of Public Prosecution, DPP, for advice.
The magistrate, however, adjourned the case until September 13, 2023.
