Court Gives Police Two Weeks to Probe Senator Fadahunsi Over Alleged ‘Kill Accord Party’ Remark

An Abuja Magistrates’ Court has ordered the Nigeria Police Force to investigate Senator Francis Fadahunsi over comments allegedly suggesting that the Accord Party should be “killed.” The police have been given two weeks to submit their findings. The complaint centres on whether the senator’s words amounted to a threat or incitement against a political opponent. Critics argue that public officials must choose their words carefully, especially during political disagreements. Fadahunsi has reportedly denied calling for violence. He said he meant that the party should be defeated politically, not that any of its members should be harmed. The investigation is expected to establish the full context and determine whether an offence was committed.
