Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has vowed that those responsible for the Ibadan funfair stampede that claimed the lives of at least 35 children will face trial, regardless of their social status.
He made the statement at the 2025 Annual Inter-faith Service for workers in the state, where he emphasised that the rule of law will be upheld in the State, even if it’s not the case elsewhere.
The three people were taken to a magistrates’ court on December 24, after which the magistrate ordered them to be remanded in the Agodi Custodial Centre pending the receipt of advice from the Directorate of Public Prosecution.
Makinde lamented that some people have been comparing the situation to similar incidents in Anambra and the Federal Capital Territory, where no one was held accountable, but he is adamant that the State will not follow suit.
