The owner of Agidigbo FM, a broadcasting station in Ibadan, Oriyomi Hamzat, has been granted bail and released from the Agodi Correctional Centre in Ibadan, Oyo State.
This comes after he successfully met the conditions of his bail, following his detention in connection with a tragic incident which claimed the lives of many children.
