Police Must Determine Whether Fadahunsi’s Alleged Violent Remarks Were Illegal — Morka

APC National Publicity Secretary Felix Morka says the police, not public commentators, should determine whether Senator Francis Fadahunsi’s alleged call for violence was illegal. Fadahunsi was invited by police after a video circulated online in which he was accused of urging supporters to attack Accord Party members ahead of the Osun governorship election. The remarks drew widespread condemnation. The senator has denied making any violent statement. He claims the clip was manipulated with AI and says he meant that APC supporters should defeat Accord Party members with their votes.

Exactly, the line needs to be clear and consistent, not something that shifts whenever politics enters the room.

The key point is that a circulating video and public reactions are not the same as a completed legal determination.

Leaving the decision to police makes sense procedurally, but public commentators can still question the language and its possible impact.

Police should review the full video, verify its context, and clearly explain any conclusion so people are not left relying on clips alone.
