Police Probe APC Officials for Inciting Election Remarks
The Nigeria Police Force is investigating Senator Francis Fadahunsi, representing Osun East, Danjuma Shekwolo, Chairman of Kuje Area Council, and a Borno commissioner for inciting remarks regarding the 2027 general election. Buba allegedly threatened violence against residents who do not support the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), while Shekwolo warned Kuje residents to vote for the APC or leave the council.
Fadahunsi was captured in a viral video threatening members of the Accord Party. Chief Superintendent of Police Anietie Iniedu stated that inciting comments related to the electoral process are criminal offenses.
The police are currently questioning the involved parties and have called for public cooperation in providing evidence for prosecution. Iniedu highlighted the challenge of reluctant witnesses in criminal cases, emphasizing the need for community support in the investigation process.
