The mother of Prophetess Naomi, former wife of the Ooni of Ife, has publicly pleaded for forgiveness following a tragic incident at a funfair she organized in Ibadan. The event, marred by a stampede that claimed 35 lives, occurred hours before its scheduled start time.
In an emotional interview with media personality Daddy Freeze, Queen Naomi’s mother expressed her deep sorrow over the incident and extended her heartfelt apologies to the grieving families. “I am ready to visit the parents of the victims to personally apologize,” she stated, her voice heavy with emotion.
The tragedy unfolded when a large crowd, eager to participate, gathered at the venue well ahead of the event. Chaos erupted, leading to a deadly stampede that left dozens dead and several others injured. Prophetess Naomi, whose name is closely tied to the event, was arrested shortly after the incident, intensifying public scrutiny.
The grieving mother emphasized her commitment to reaching out to the bereaved families and addressing their pain. “This was never my intention. I deeply regret what has happened,” she added, calling for understanding amidst widespread criticism.
Investigations into the incident are ongoing, with authorities focusing on crowd control lapses that contributed to the disaster.
