The Accord party in Oyo State
has called for a high-powered
investigation into the attack that

Ibadan on Friday.
In a release signed by Prince
Dotun Oyelade, Accord said that

peaceful reign as its cardinal

The statement decried as awful

go on a leisure cruise abroad
while Ibadan was literally
burning,” Accord said in the
statement.
