Adebayo, also known as Omo Lere, plans to approach the International Criminal Court, ECOWAS Community Court of Justice, and several U.S. and UK parliamentary committees regarding Fadahunsi's remarks.

Adebayo claims this historical reference implied that he is destined for a similar fate, and he warns that any harm or damage to his properties or person will be met with direct and full accountability.",
