FILE: Senator Francis Fadahunsi
The Imole Campaign Council, the official campaign organisation of Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has urged the Inspector-General of Police, Tunji Disu, to provide immediate protection for members and supporters of the Accord Party ahead of Saturday’s governorship election.
The demand was contained in a petition sent to the IG on Wednesday over alleged inflammatory comments by the senator representing Osun East Senatorial District, Francis Fadahunsi, in a video circulating on social media.
Although the senator denied the statement, he was invited by the Osun State Police Command, an invitation he honoured.
The petition signed by the council’s spokesman, Pelumi Olajengbesi, alleged that the comments, if authenticated, posed a serious threat to the lives of Accord members and supporters, particularly those in Ilesa and other parts of Osun East Senatorial District.
