Supporters Rally for Release of Ex-Ooni Queen Naomi Silekunola and Agidigbo FM CEO Oriyomi Hamzat


A growing wave of supporters has called for the immediate release of Naomi Silekunola, the former queen of the Ooni of Ife, and Oriyomi Hamzat, the Chief Executive Officer of Agidigbo FM.
The duo's detention has sparked widespread attention and prompted solidarity from various quarters.

Reports indicate that both individuals have been held under circumstances that remain unclear, fueling concerns among their sympathizers. In a show of support, crowds gathered in key locations, demanding clarity on the reasons for their detention and urging authorities to ensure justice and fairness in handling the matter.

Naomi Silekunola, known for her grace and philanthropic initiatives during her time as the Ooni’s queen, has remained a figure of public admiration even after her separation from the monarch. Her sudden detention has raised eyebrows and ignited conversations across social and traditional media.

Similarly, Oriyomi Hamzat, a renowned media personality and advocate for social justice through his radio station, Agidigbo FM, commands a significant following. His commitment to speaking truth to power has earned him respect and, at times, opposition from influential figures. His supporters are particularly concerned about the implications of his detention on freedom of expression in the country.

Witnesses at the solidarity rallies described the atmosphere as peaceful but resolute, with participants holding placards and chanting slogans advocating for the duo's release. Leaders from various civil society organizations and advocacy groups have also added their voices, urging the relevant authorities to provide transparency and ensure that due process is followed.

The events surrounding the detention of Naomi Silekunola and Oriyomi Hamzat continue to unfold, with many Nigerians keenly watching for updates. As public discourse grows, questions remain about the circumstances leading to their arrest and the broader implications for justice and freedom in Nigeria.

Efforts to reach official sources for comments on the detentions were unsuccessful at the time of this report.
