Osun Police summon APC senator, Fadahunsi over ‘k!ll Accord’ comment

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.  The post Osun Police summon APC senator, Fadahunsi over k!ll Accord comment appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
