Senator Francis Fadahunsi, who represents Osun East, visited the Osun State Police Command headquarters in Osogbo this Wednesday. He was responding to an official summons regarding a contentious video recording featuring him.
In the widely shared clip, the senator allegedly encouraged All Progressives Congress supporters to target Accord Party members during the upcoming gubernatorial election. The police requested his presence to clarify the statements and aid in their ongoing investigation.
This incident occurs as law enforcement increases safety measures ahead of the August 15 election. Authorities have consistently advised political figures to refrain from rhetoric that could incite violence or jeopardize public order during the voting process. Following the interview, police officials will determine how to proceed based on the senator’s explanations regarding the incident.
