Osun poll: Accord candidate to drag Fadahunsi before ICC, US, UK

The Accord Party's Ladi Adebayo, known as Omo Lere, intends to bring Senator Francis Fadahunsi before international courts over his comments ahead of the Osun gubernatorial poll on Saturday. Adebayo is planning to approach the International Criminal Court, the ECOWAS Community Court of Justice, the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission, and various U.S. and UK committees.

He claims Fadahunsi's remarks, referencing his father's house burning in 1983 after defecting from the UPN to the NPN, constituted a threat. Adebayo vows to take "decisive legal action" both in Nigeria and internationally, citing the global interconnectedness of justice. This comes after Fadahunsi's recent remarks criticizing Accord members, leading to calls for his arrest by the Osun State Government.
