APC Drags Fayose to Rights Commission, ICC
The All Progressives Congress (APC), in Ekiti State, has urged the National Human Rights Commission and International Criminal Court in The Hague, the Netherlands, to prosecute Governor Ayodele Fayose for over an inciting broadcast that threatened the peace of the state, recently.
Its Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun, said the move became compelling in the face of one death recorded in Efon Alaaye and near collapse of peace after the governor made a live broadcast on the state radio and television urging his supporters into an act of rage and violence to attack the 19 APC lawmakers and prevent them from performing their constitutional duties.
“Governor Fayose, a few weeks ago, mobilised his supporters to confront the APC lawmakers who were coming to perform their legal duties in Ekiti State. He had earlier urged his supporters to defend his election with last the drop of their blood.
“In obedience to his order, his supporters in Efon stormed the security check-point and engaged the security agents who they perceived as paving the way for the APC lawmakers to enter the state. In the ensuing gunfire, one Modupe Olaiya was shot dead,” Olatubosun said.
