Amnesty International Nigeria has vowed to hold Senator Francis Fadahunsi, representing Osun East, accountable on a global scale for his controversial remarks calling for the killing of members of the Accord party ahead of the Osun governorship election. Country director Isa Sanusi stated that Amnesty will use Fadahunsi as an example to deter other politicians from making similar inflammatory statements.
Fadahunsi, an All Progressives Congress (APC) senator, faced intense criticism following a video showing him suggesting supporters kill Accord party members. The Osun police command summoned the senator twice in the days leading up to the August 15 election. Sanusi emphasized that advocacy of hatred and incitement to violence violates international and Nigerian laws, and Amnesty will not tolerate such behavior.
