Osun APC Senator Fadahunsi Released After Police Interrogation
The Osun State Police Command released Senator Francis Fadahunsi, representing Osun East, on administrative bail after he was interrogated regarding alleged inflammatory comments made during an APC campaign event in Ilesa. Police spokesperson Abiodun Ojelabi confirmed the senator's release on Wednesday, stating that the investigation continues.
Fadahunsi was questioned after a viral video surfaced, where he allegedly urged supporters to "kill" members of the Accord Party. He later clarified that his comments were misinterpreted and intended as a metaphorical call to reject the Accord Party at the ballot box during the upcoming August 15 governorship election.
Fadahunsi emphasized that he advocates for peaceful elections and urged political actors to maintain lawfulness. The police sought clarification on his remarks due to concerns about potential political tension ahead of the election.
