Osun Lawmaker Summoned Over ‘Kill Accord Members’ Threat Arrives at Police Headquarters

Senator Francis Fadahunsi, who represents Osun East in the National Assembly, walked into the Osun State Police Command headquarters in Osogbo on Tuesday afternoon, responding to an official invitation from law enforcement. The senator, accompanied by Samuel Etaifo, the Commissioner of Police overseeing election and security matters, arrived at approximately 2:35 pm, stepping into a storm of controversy that has gripped the state ahead of Saturday’s governorship election.

The summons follows a firestorm sparked by a leaked video circulating on social media. In the clip, Fadahunsi, speaking in Yoruba, allegedly issued a chilling directive: any member of the Accord Party spotted in Ilesa before the election should be killed. The footage quickly ignited public outrage and drew sharp scrutiny from authorities, who moved swiftly to question the senator.

The controversy also ensnares Francis Eniade, the All Progressives Congress candidate for the Ifelodun/Boripe/Odo Otin Federal Constituency in the 2027 general elections. Both men came under heavy criticism on Tuesday over the alleged threats, which have cast a shadow over the electoral process and raised fears of political violence in the region.

Police officials have not yet released a formal statement regarding the content of the interrogation or whether charges are forthcoming, but the development marks a tense turn in an already heated political landscape. As the clock ticks down to Saturday’s vote, all eyes remain on Osogbo, where the senator’s fate—and the integrity of the upcoming election—hangs in the balance.
