He said Hamzat has been unconscious from the shock of the incident since it happened.

The source said, “The chairman of Agidigbo FM, Ibadan, is currently unconscious and in an undisclosed hospital. Due to the tragic event that happened yesterday (Wednesday), he could not handle the shock and passed out.”

Meanwhile, the police have arrested Olori Naomi alongside seven other people in connection with the event that led to the death of the children in Ibadan.
