An Iyaganku Chief Magistrate Court in Ibadan, presided over by Chief Magistrate Olabisi Ogunkanmi, has adjourned the case involving Olori Prophetess Naomi Silekunola, ex-wife of the Ooni of Ife; Oriyomi Hamzat, proprietor of an Ibadan-based radio station; and the principal of Islamic High School, Bashorun, Ibadan.
The case is now set for mention on March 24, 2025.
The trio appeared in court on Monday, two weeks after being granted bail by an Oyo State High Court.
They were initially remanded at the Nigerian Correctional Centre, Agodi, Ibadan, following a holden charge by the Chief Magistrate’s order.
Their release came after their respective legal representatives argued that a holden charge is not recognized under Nigerian law.
The case was scheduled for mention on Monday, but the court adjourned proceedings until March 24.
The decision follows the requests from the Counsel to the defendants, who pleaded for a longer date following the release of the legal advise by the Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP).
