Osun Govt sues Fadahunsi over ‘Kill Accord’ members threat
The Osun State Government has approached the High Court of Osun State seeking an order compelling security agencies to investigate Senator Francis Fadahunsi over alleged inciting remarks and death threats against members of the Accord Party.
The suit, marked HOS/M.157/26, was filed on August 12, 2026, at the Osogbo Judicial Division, three days before the August 15 governorship election.
The Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Osun State, Oluwole Jimi-Bada, filed the application against the Inspector-General of Police and the Commissioner of Police in the state.
The government alleged that the senator, representing Osun East, was seen in a viral video issuing death threats to members of the Accord Party found in Ilesa.
The government also alleged that the senator called for Accord Party members to be chased from hotels and allegedly described them as
“not normal human beings”
because of their yellow caps.
The applicant urged the court to compel the police to immediately obtain, secure, preserve and forensically examine the
“complete and unedited version”
of the video.
It also wants the police to investigate the circumstances surrounding the creation and circulation of the video, including the location, date, audience, sponsors, publishers and other persons connected with the alleged statements.
The state said the alleged remarks, if authenticated, could have serious implications for public safety and the conduct of the election scheduled for August 15.
“The contents of the said publication, if authenticated through proper investigation, constitute matters of the gravest public security concern,”
the government stated.
