Osun Election: Police summon APC senator Fadahunsi over viral ‘Kill Accord’ remark
The Osun State Police Command has summoned Senator Francis Fadahunsi, who represents Osun East Senatorial District, over his now-viral comment allegedly directing supporters to “kill” members of the Accord Party.
The invitation followed outrage over the senator’s remarks during an APC campaign in Ilesa on Tuesday.
In a letter dated August 11, the police directed Fadahunsi to appear before the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Osogbo at 11am on Wednesday to clarify the circumstances surrounding the statement.
Fadahunsi’s team has since claimed that the senator’s remarks were metaphorical and meant that supporters should defeat the Accord Party “with votes, not violence” in the August 15 governorship election.
