The Osun State Police Command has officially addressed the considerable public uproar generated by a recently circulated video featuring Senator Francis Fadahunsi. During a televised interview on Channels Television on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, the State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Abiodun Ojelabi, confirmed that the statements purportedly made by the distinguished lawmaker were indeed clearly audible and readily comprehensible to a wide audience.
DSP Ojelabi’s remarks were made in the context of mounting public scrutiny and a surge of concern stemming from the viral video. Within this footage, Senator Fadahunsi can be heard articulating sentiments that have ignited significant debate and apprehension throughout the state. The Osun State PPRO emphasized that the police are fully cognizant of the content of the senator’s pronouncements. He further asserted that the message conveyed in the video was sufficiently unambiguous, particularly for individuals who possess a strong command of the Yoruba language and are attuned to the cultural and social context in which the statements were made.
Elaborating on the basis of their understanding, DSP Ojelabi underscored that the police’s interpretation was not predicated on mere conjecture or guesswork. Instead, he highlighted the substantial presence of a Yoruba-speaking demographic within the state, a segment of the population that is well-equipped to grasp the nuances and explicit meaning of the senator’s chosen words. As DSP Ojelabi articulated, “We all heard what he said and we have a very large community of Yorubas that understood what he said very well, you know.” This statement underscores the perceived clarity and directness of the senator’s message to those familiar with the language.
The police spokesman’s pronouncements serve to underscore the gravity with which the Osun State Police Command is approaching the dissemination and implications of this viral video. The controversy has continued to capture widespread attention, largely due to the potentially sensitive nature of the remarks attributed to the senator. Concerns have been voiced that these statements could inadvertently escalate tensions within the community or be misconstrued as incitement.
DSP Ojelabi further clarified that the police have a fundamental duty to meticulously investigate the circumstances surrounding the video’s creation and distribution. Their objective is to ascertain the precise intentions and motivations behind the statements attributed to Senator Fadahunsi. Consequently, the command’s primary focus is on the diligent pursuit of factual accuracy and providing the senator with an appropriate platform to offer clarification and context for his remarks. For those wishing to review the original footage, it is available for viewing from stamp time 3:50 to 4:10.
