Let police determine if Osun senator’s comments were unlawful — APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has called for an investigation into comments made by Osun Senator Francis Fadahunsi during a campaign. The party wants the police to determine if the senator's remarks were unlawful.

Senator Fadahunsi was allegedly recorded making comments about members of the Accord Party, suggesting they should be killed until election day. A letter, dated August 11, 2026, was sent to the British High Commissioner in Abuja by legal practitioner Deji Adeyanju, urging the UK to impose a visa ban on the senator and his family.

The letter, which was received on August 12, 2026, according to Punch Nigeria, included a flash drive with the alleged video recording and publications of the remarks. Adeyanju argued that Nigerian politicians had acted with impunity for too long, prompting the call for action from the British authorities.
