Court remands seven Yoruba Nation agitators over invasion of Ibadan radio station

An Ibadan Magistrate’s Court sitting in Iyaganku, has remanded seven people who claimed to be Yoruba Nation agitators at the Abolongo Correctional facility in Oyo town, Oyo State.
   
They were arraigned in court on a four-count charge of conspiracy and treason, and two counts of armed robbery.
  
The accused were remanded pending the time when their case would be decided.
   
They were dragged to court due to their involvement in the invasion of a radio station in Ibadan last month.
  
The accused are: Noah Atoyebi, Adeleke Gbenga, Abdulganiyu Mustapha, Bashiru Kehinde, Ifagbola Elijah, Oladapo Ajani, and Rasheed Jimoh.
   
Counsel to one of the defendants,  Abiodun Adeleke, requested that his client, Adeleke Gbenga, required medical attention, to which the prosecution officer, Inspector Folake Ewe, did not object.
   
Magistrate P. O. Adetuyi, who did not take the plea of the defendants, ordered their remand.
  
Adetuyi added that the case file should be duplicated and sent to the office of the Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP) for advice and adjourned to September 13,2023.
   
Recall that some people, who claimed to be Yoruba Nation agitators, invaded Amuludun FM 99.1 in Ibadan last month.
  
They seized the radio station and broadcast for about an hour.
