The police in Osun State have summoned Francis Fadahunsi, the senator representing Osun East, over the comments he made during a rally asking supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to “kill” members of the rival Accord Party ahead of Saturday’s governorship election.
PREMIUM TIMES reported on Tuesday that Mr Fadahunsi during a protest at the palace of the Owa Obokun of Ijesaland in Ilesa over alleged incessant killings of the APC members in Ijesaland, directed party members to retaliate by the kill with the rival part Accord.
In the video which circulated online, the senator, who was accompanied by other All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders, accused Accord Party members of killing people in Ilesa.
“The cap they wear – it is Yellow Fever cap, it is the cap of an animal,” Mr Fadahunsi said, referring to Accord Party’s yellow brand.
“It is animal that kills. Have you ever heard that APC killed anyone? Are those being killed not your people?” Mr Fadahunsi said.
