A Magistrate Court in Abuja has ordered the police to investigate a complaint filed against Senator Francis Fadahunsi, the representative of Osun East Senatorial District, following allegations that he made remarks inciting violence against members of the Accord Party. The investigation, to be completed within two weeks, was directed by Magistrate II Farida Ibrahim following a complaint filed by Pelumi Olajengbesi, a campaign spokesman for Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke.
The complaint was made after a viral video purportedly showed Fadahunsi making comments that allegedly encouraged violence against the Accord Party and its supporters in the lead-up to the August 15 Osun State gubernatorial election. Pelumi Olajengbesi had threatened to file a N10bn defamation and injurious falsehood lawsuit against Fadahunsi for separate allegations made during television interviews on July 2 and August 11.
