In recent news, while speaking during the 2025 Annual Interfaith Service for state workers on Monday, January 6 insisted that the organizers must be made to face the law.

 

He said this after some people raised concern of similar cases that happened in Anambra and Abuja, and how no one was prosecuted.

He stated that while there may be no prosecutions elsewhere, the case will be different in Oyo State.

He said;

In the outgone year, we faced challenges. 2024 started for us here in Oyo State almost on a tragic note. On 16th January 2024, we had an explosion here in Bodija. It affected even my office. The impact was felt all around Ibadan. We’re closing it out.

 

“And then, towards the end of the year, we had the stampede at Islamic High School, Bashorun. 35 innocent souls were lost; may we not see such again in Oyo State.

“Several people have been reaching out to me, saying, ‘Oh, this incident happened in Anambra State. It also occurred in the FCT. Nobody went to jail. Why is it that in Oyo State, some people are going to jail?’ I said, ‘Well, Oyo State is not Anambra State, and no matter how highly placed, justice must be done.’

“The judiciary is here; it’s in their court. If you think you can grant bail pending trial, I have nothing against it. But for the trial, the people must go on trial. ”
