The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on Wednesday called for the suspension and arrest of the senator representing Osun East Senatorial District, Francis Fadahunsi, for issuing death threats to members of the Accord Party found in Ilesa ahead of Saturday’s Osun State governorship election.
“The Senate leadership is hereby called upon to suspend Senator Fadahunsi immediately pending conclusive investigation by the police,” the Executive Secretary, Tony Ojukwu, said in a statement.
“The Police and DSS must also arrest, investigate, and prosecute him now. We cannot wait until blood is spilt in Osun before we act. Prevention is the duty of the state, and the leadership of the NASS is part of the state.”
Fadahunsi’s threat
On Tuesday, Mr Fadahunsi, speaking in the Yoruba language, threatened members of the Accord Party in a viral video.
