The Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Adewale Egbedun, on Wednesday said his lawyers have submitted a petition to the Inspector General of Police, Olatunji Disu, on the alleged threat issued against him by the All Progressives Congress House of Representatives candidate for Ifelodun/ Boripe/Odo Otin Federal Constituency in the 2027 election, Francis Eniade.
Egbedun, who disclosed this in Osogbo on Wednesday while addressing journalists, said the move was not about political persecution or vendetta.
He, however, said the step was taken to protect lives, enforce the law and preserve the integrity of the nation’s democracy.
He also expressed concern about the threats attributed to “Senator Ade Fadahunsi, a serving Senator for that matter, and Francis Eniade, the APC House of Representatives candidate for the Ifelodun, Boripe and Odo-Otin Federal Constituency, threatening people who are not members or supporters of the APC with violence and death.”
Egbedun added, “No threat to life should be treated lightly, irrespective of the political party or individual involved. Let me say this categorically. My lawyers have submitted a formal petition to the Inspector-General of Police and the appropriate authorities on this matter.
