UK Visa Ban Requested for Senator Over Incitement Claims
Abuja-based lawyer Deji Adeyanju has formally requested the British Government to impose a visa ban on Senator Francis Fadahunsi, a member of the All Progressives Congress, and his family due to alleged incitement against members of the Accord Party. In a letter dated August 11, 2026, addressed to the British High Commissioner in Abuja, Adeyanju cited comments made by Fadahunsi at a campaign rally, where he allegedly urged supporters to "kill" Accord Party members.
The letter, received by the British High Commission on August 12, included translations of the senator's remarks and a flash drive containing a video of the incident. Adeyanju argued that Nigerian politicians have acted with impunity, undermining democracy and causing harm to citizens.
He urged the UK to consider stronger measures against those who threaten Nigeria's democratic process, including asset seizures. The Osun State governorship election is scheduled for August 15, 2026.
