Osun Election: Amnesty demands probe of Fadahunsi over alleged incitement

n n

Amnesty International Nigeria has called for an urgent investigation into alleged remarks attributed to Senator Francis Fadahunsi ahead of the Osun State governorship election.

n

The organisation made the call in a post on its X handle on Saturday, saying allegations of incitement to violence required prompt action by the relevant authorities.

n

Amnesty International Nigeria urged authorities to conduct a “prompt, impartial and thorough investigation” into the reported remarks and ensure accountability if evidence establishes that a criminal offence was committed.

n

“Political differences must never become a justification for violence,” the organisation said.

n

It also urged members of the public to support its petition calling on the authorities to investigate the matter and take appropriate action.

n

The call came as voting continued in the Osun governorship election amid heightened attention to the conduct of political actors and the need to maintain peace throughout the electoral process.
