Simi Oluwaseyi, sister of Prophetess Naomi Silekunola, former wife of the Ooni of Ife Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has taken to social media to vent after her sister was remanded at Agodi Correctional Centre over the deadly stampede in Ibadan.

A Chief Magistrate’s Court sitting in Iyaganku, Ibadan on Tuesday ordered the remand of Silekunola and others over the stampede which occurred on December 18 at a Christmas funfair at Islamic High School, Bashorun, Ibadan.

According to the police, 35 minors died in the stampede while six others were critically injured.

The defendants are facing a four-count charge bordering on conspiracy, murder and negligent acts causing harm.

Oluwaseyi said in an Instagram Story post on Wednesday that she has been trying to understand why her sister is facing murder charges.

“I need lawyers to educate me on why my sister was charged for Murder. Okay she has been brought before the law, why is she being charged for murder????” She asked.

“This is the question I have been asking since yesterday. Since the day she was detained, the answer has been order from above. Who is the order from above ????? If you have personal vendetta with my sister come out in the open, don’t go through corners! Come out and convict her of murder yourself!”

Earlier, she wrote that her sister is being treated “like a terrorist”.

Oluwaseyi said their mother begged for several days before she was allowed to see Silekunola.

“My mummy had to beg everyday before she was allowed entry. She was not allowed to use her phone. I had to beg for her son to be allowed to see her at the police hospital,” she wrote.
