The Senator representing Osun East Francis Fadahunsi has been invited by the Osun State Police over his comments of “Kill Acord Party members.”
According to the police the statement is a “source of serious concern.”
Fadahunsi was seen in a video trending online urging the All Progressives Congress supporters to attack the Accord Party members at the up coming Osun governorship elections.
“He is a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. We are not talking about immunity here. Even people not up to his status, we normally write invitation letters to them.
“If they honour it, fine; if they don’t, then we go after them,” Osun State Police spokesperson DSP Abiodun Ojelabi, in an interview with Channels TV’s Morning Brief.
The police in the letter dated August 11, 2026, inviting Fadahunsi, wants him to “clarify the circumstances” surrounding his comments allegedly made during an APC campaign in Ilesa. The invitation, signed by Samuel Etaifo Erale, the Commissioner of Police for Elections in Osun State, orders the senator to appear at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Osogbo on August 12 at 11:00 am.
In response to the controversies, Fadahunsi denied the accusations, labeling them a “deliberate misrepresentation.” He claimed his remarks were a reaction to the “continued killing of APC members” by alleged thugs associated with the Accord Party in Ilesa. “The video was deliberately edited to distort what I actually said,” he stated, further explaining, “What I said was that if the alleged killing of our party members by Accord Party thugs does not stop, our party will retaliate.”
