The Oyo State High Court has scheduled a ruling on the bail applications of Naomi Silekunola, ex-wife of the Ooni of Ife, and Alhaji Oriyomi Hamzat for January 13, 2025.

The court heard arguments from both sides before adjourning the case, with the prosecution opposing bail due to the seriousness of the charges
