Osun Speaker Petitions Police Over Death Threats
On Wednesday, Adewale Egbedun, the Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, announced that his lawyers submitted a petition to Inspector General of Police Olatunji Disu concerning alleged death threats made against him by Francis Eniade, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the Ifelodun/Boripe/Odo Otin Federal Constituency in the 2027 elections. Egbedun emphasized that this action was not politically motivated but aimed at protecting lives and upholding democratic integrity.
He expressed concern over threats attributed to Senator Ade Fadahunsi and Eniade, who allegedly threatened violence against non-APC supporters. Egbedun stated that no threat to life should be taken lightly and expressed optimism that the police would investigate the matter thoroughly.
He called for peaceful elections and encouraged Osun residents to support Governor Ademola Adeleke's re-election while ensuring the protection of their votes.
