In 1974 he returned for a postgraduate course in Liverpool. He resigned this intention shortly, when rumours of the Babangida’s insincerity reached his camp, particularly when candidates were asked to buy a form for 500,00 naira.
Activism
Talks and political regrouping towards the end of Head of State Ibrahim Babangida’s rule brought Fasehun in contact with non-politician activists like Beko Ransome-Kuti, doctor and former chairman of LUTH whose Campaign for Democracy CD caused a stir with its huge rally at Ikeja in July 1993.
Lawyer activist, Gani Fawehinmi provided free legal services to Fasehun during his incarceration.
Following the unpopular cancellation of the June 12 1993 elections, Fasehun dipped more into the pro-democracy movement. He resigned in 1978 and immediately set up the Besthope Hospital and Acupuncture Centre in Lagos. He took every chance he got therefore to attempt examinations as private candidates, thus reducing the time required to stay learning.
As a toddler, he was attacked by constant bout of violent illness which threatened his life and frustrated his mother into throwing him into River Agbabu, during a journey from Ondo to Lagos in 1938. The Acupuncture Centre once earned a reputation as Africa’s first for the Chinese medical practice.
Fasehun was imprisoned for 19 months from December 1996 to June 1998 during the military rule of Sani Abacha, only ending 18 days after Abacha"s death.

Through his strong will, he had conjured the affection and deep sacrifice of both his otherwise far away mother and grandmother who saw to making him an exception of family rule. Notwithstanding his sterling performance, he was dismissed, but was able to secure a good testimonial for admission to his new school, the Ondo Boys High School under a man in the mold of Reverend Kuti namely Reverend Emmanuel Odunsanwo.
Within two years he achieved his four-year bursary supported Fellowship of the Faculty of Anesthesiology of the Royal College of Surgeon (FFARCS).
Career
Before going into private medical practice Fasehun worked at Zaria and Lagos teaching hospitals respectively, deciding to leave on both occasions due to resistance to his efforts at making change.
On 3 August 1972, few hours after meeting his in-laws, and three days before his journey to Liverpool, U.K., he married Iyabo Giwa, a final year student nurse whom he met in Zaria. Their first child, Kayode came in 1967. Mother, Comfort Olakurojomu was a descendant of the Alaafin of Oyo and Ojomu of Ondo, a highly placed chief in Ondo town.
His impression of China was idyllic when he was nominated at work in 1977 to go learn Chinese traditional medical practice. When the National Chairman of the Campaign for Democracy CD, at a time the hottest bed for such groups, was jailed by the Abacha junta, he became the Acting Chairman. His high regard of British ethics and hospitality in his account was at variance however with his experience of expatriate staffs at work in Zaria, Nigeria.
Fasehun was at St. Peter’s Teacher Training College in Akure the only non-Catholic student among the pioneer twenty-five.
