The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has enjoined the National Human Rights‎ Commission and International Criminal Court in the Hague, Holland, to prosecute Governor Ayodele Fayose.

The party stated that the governor had made inciting broadcast on the state radio and television by calling on his supporters to attack the 19 APC lawmakers and prevent them from commencing impeachment proceedings against him.

APC stated that the utterances of Fayose had threatened the peace of the state in the past few days.

“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 the last 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, Modupe Olaiya was shot dead.”

“In response, Fayose rented a woman to pose as the mother of the deceased to claim that an APC lawmaker ‎shot Modupe dead. Few days later, the real mother of the deceased showed up, raising the alarm in the media that the impersonator was a woman leader of Fayose’s party. She accused the impersonator of taking government’s inducement to implicate an innocent man.”
