  "summary": "The Accord, a political organization, has called for the immediate arrest and prosecution of Osun East senator, Francis Adenigba Fadahunsi, following a viral campaign video where he allegedly threatened members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) with violence. The party claims that Fadahunsi's remarks confirm that its members and supporters across the state are victims of political violence, harassment, and intimidation by APC thugs colluding with the police and EFCC. Accord has urged the Inspector General of Police and the Director General of the Department of State Services (DSS) to apprehend Fadahunsi and curb his supporters' activities. The organization also demands the release of over 60 of its members who were allegedly arrested and detained illegally in Abuja and Nasarawa State. Additionally, Accord has appealed to the international community, including the European Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, the Africa Union, and ECOWAS, to closely monitor the political situation in Osun State and condemn anti-democratic forces' actions, emphasizing the need for a free, fair, credible, inclusive, and peaceful gubernatorial election that meets international standards.",
