A Magistrate's Court in Abuja has mandated police to probe Senator Francis Fadahunsi for alleged remarks calling for the murder of Accord Party members prior to Osun State's gubernatorial election on August 15, 2026. Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Zone 7, Abuja, will submit a report within two weeks. The order came after the presiding magistrate directed the police to act upon a criminal complaint filed by Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke's campaign spokesman, Pelumi Olajengbesi.
Olajengbesi accused Fadahunsi of inciting violence against the Accord Party and its supporters. Fadahunsi's lawyer, Hammed Lasisi, had demanded a retraction and apology from Fadahunsi for allegedly defaming Olajengbesi's character and reputation.
