Wednesday, August 12, 2026 - The Osun State Police Command has summoned Senator Francis Fadahunsi over his alleged comment directing supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to “kill” members of the rival Accord Party during the state governorship election scheduled to be held this Saturday, August 15.
The summons followed the circulation of a video on social
media in which the Osun East senator, while speaking in Yoruba during an APC
campaign in Ilesa on Tuesday, allegedly made the controversial remarks.
In a letter dated August 11, 2026, and signed by the
Commissioner of Police, Elections, Osun State, Samuel Etaifo Erale, the command
invited Fadahunsi to clarify the circumstances surrounding the statements.
According to TheCable, the Senator was directed to report to
the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Osogbo, at 11am on
Wednesday, August 12.
The letter said the invitation was based on information
available to the police alleging that Fadahunsi made statements considered
“threatening, inciting and intimidating” during the campaign.
It added that the alleged statement had been circulated on
various electronic and social media platforms.
Fadahunsi has since denied this claim. He says his comment
was taken out of context and that the video being circulated is AI-generated.
