Osun election: IGP told to immediately arrest APC Senator over controversial remark

Nigerians have called for the immediate arrest and prosecution of Osun East Senatorial District Representative, Senator Fadahunsi of the All Progressives Congress (APC), following a controversial remark made in a video that circulated on social media. The video, which allegedly shows the senator addressing party supporters in Ilesa, contains threats against members of the Accord Party ahead of Saturday's governorship election in the state.

The remarks have sparked widespread outrage and raised concerns over the safety of voters. APC chieftain Babafemi Ojudu described the alleged remarks as unacceptable in a democracy, while Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, the Accord Party candidate, called for the immediate investigation and arrest of the lawmaker, describing it as a national security threat.

Senator Fadahunsi has denied making the statement, claiming the video was generated using artificial intelligence.
