Senator Summoned Over Threatening Comments Before Osun Poll

With the Osun State governorship election approaching on Saturday, Senator Francis Fadahunsi has been summoned by the Osun State Police Command due to a viral video in which he allegedly threatened to kill any Accord Party member found in Ilesa. Governor Ademola Adeleke has demanded Fadahunsi's arrest, stating that his comments pose a national security threat.

Fadahunsi claims the video was edited and taken out of context. In addition, the Inspector-General of Police has prohibited Amotekun and other non-state security outfits from participating in the election, warning that any unauthorized personnel involved in election-related activities will face arrest and prosecution.

The election is expected to be closely contested, with key local government areas identified as battlegrounds between Governor Adeleke and APC candidate Bola Oyebamiji.
