The Save Democracy Group, a bipartisan platform of members of the House of Representatives, has called for a full investigation into the violence and deaths linked to the 2026 Osun State governorship election. The group, comprising Awaji-Inombek Abiante (NDC, Rivers), Abubakar Kusada (APC, Katsina), and Mansur Jega (ADC, Kebbi), expressed concern over the scale of violence reported before and during the poll, with the Nigeria Police Force having investigated 30 suspected politically motivated killings linked to the election build-up.
The lawmakers also cited civil society reports documenting 56 politically related violent incidents and 14 fatalities, questioning the effectiveness of the extensive deployment of security personnel to Osun State. They demanded comprehensive investigations by the Nigeria Police Force, Department of State Services, National Human Rights Commission, and other competent authorities, singling out the alleged comments by Senator Francis Fadahunsi for investigation.
