IBADAN BROADCASTER  REGAINS FREEDOM

by admin

Ibadan famed broadcaster and owner of ‘gIdigbo’,   Oriyomi Hamzat,  has  finally  been released by the Police who arrested him in the ancient City.  

We gathered that  Hamzat, who had been vociferous in his demand for justice in a murder case involving Hilton Hotel, Ile-Ife owner, Chief Rahman Adedoyin, was arrested on Thursday.

However, the management of his radio station has announced his release.

The announcement is contained in a statement issued on Friday by the radio station, stating that he was released on bail to his lawyers.

It, however, refuted the reasons given by the police for Oriyomi’s arrest.

The statement read, “It is with a heart filled with immense gratitude and huge relief that we confirm to the general public that Mr. Oriyomi Hamzat has finally regained his freedom after the arrest that spanned the entirety of yesterday.

“He was released on bail to his lawyers after due conversations with the authorities, particularly with respect to the petition written against him by Rahmon Adedoyin’s lawyers and the validity of his consequent arrest.

“As we have rightly stated yesterday, at no point was Mr. Oriyomi Hamat found guilty of cyberbullying neither did he refuse at any point to not honor invitations from the Nigeria Police Force as wrongly alleged by the Force PRO. Why this false insinuation is being purveyed is completely beyond our grasp.

“Nonetheless, it is at this juncture; that we express our heartfelt appreciation to all Nigerians who stood by us throughout yesterday’s trying moment, and lent their voice to #FreeOriyomiliamat. This might not have been possible; especially this soon, without your amplification of our concerns.
