The Imole Campaign Council (TICC) has called on the Nigeria Police Force to immediately issue a public update on its ongoing investigation into Senator Francis Adenigba Fadahunsi regarding alleged threats to kill members of the Accord party ahead of the August 15 Osun State governorship election.
In a press statement released to journalists, the campaign council urged law enforcement agencies to demonstrate that the investigation into the lawmaker is being handled with the seriousness it deserves. TICC emphasised that police intervention must not end as mere rhetoric designed to calm public anger, but must serve as a genuine effort to ensure that reckless and violent political utterances carry strict legal consequences.
The campaign group demanded that if a thorough review of the viral video establishes a clear intention to harm Accord leaders and members, the police should proceed without delay to charge Senator Fadahunsi to court. TICC stated that its demand is grounded in the principle of equal justice, insisting that the law must be enforced impartially regardless of an individual’s political standing or societal status.
The call comes amid growing security concerns across Osun State, where the viral video has sparked widespread panic. TICC disclosed that since the threats were issued, party members and residents in Ijesaland and surrounding communities have lived under immense fear for their safety. The group stressed that human life is too precious to be subjected to such daring intimidation, particularly with the governorship election just days away.
Emphasising the need for restraint, the Imole Campaign Council appealed directly to Accord leaders, members, and supporters in Ijesaland not to be provoked into retaliatory violence. Instead, the organisation advised them to remain peaceful and maintain their focus on mobilising voters for the re-election bid of Governor Ademola Adeleke. Political disagreements, the council noted, must never be used as a justification to threaten the lives of fellow citizens or members of opposing political parties.
The development follows intense public scrutiny and widespread condemnation that prompted the police to invite Senator Fadahunsi for questioning after the controversial video began circulating online.
