Following the tragic Ibadan stampede that claimed the lives of several children, Prophet Olu Alo has defended Dr. Oriyomi Hamzat and Prophetess Naomi. Both are currently in custody after organizing the ill-fated event.
The Compassionate Intentions of Oriyomi and Naomi
Prophet Alo emphasized that Hamzat and Naomi’s intentions were noble, focusing on helping underprivileged children. He described both as compassionate individuals dedicated to uplifting vulnerable groups, particularly children.
Condolences and Support Following the Ibadan Stampede
In a heartfelt statement, Prophet Alo expressed condolences to the families of the deceased children. He offered prayers for strength, encouraging the families during their time of grief. Despite the tragedy, he remained optimistic that the detained individuals would emerge unscathed if their hearts were pure.
A History of Humanitarian Efforts
Dr. Oriyomi Hamzat, the owner of Agidigbo FM, has long supported children, running an orphanage and caring for many. Prophetess Naomi, through her NGO, has similarly supported less-privileged children, providing numerous uplifting programs. Prophet Alo stressed that the stampede does not reflect their long history of good intentions.
The Ibadan Stampede: A Call for Understanding and Mercy
Prophet Alo urged the public to avoid premature blame, as such incidents could discourage philanthropists from continuing their work. He called for understanding, urging people to recognize the efforts of both Hamzat and Naomi in positively impacting many lives.
Ibadan Stampede: A Plea for Mercy and Justice
Lastly, Prophet Alo appealed to Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde to show mercy in the legal proceedings. He highlighted the humanitarian background of Hamzat and Naomi, encouraging fairness and justice in their case while extending sympathy to the bereaved families.
