Ilesa, Osun State — A video circulating on social media today allegedly shows former Osun State House of Assembly member Wale Adedoyin threatening to kill an APC chieftain, sparking outrage and calls for investigation.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The video appears to show Adedoyin, who is known as a close ally of former minister and ex-governor Rauf Aregbesola, confronting the APC leader in a heated exchange. In the footage, he is heard making a direct threat to “kill” the party official. (Facebook)
According to the social media posts, the alleged victim is identified as Hon. Femi Onigbogi.
What the Video Shows & Claims
- In the clip, Adedoyin is seen raising his voice and pointing aggressively toward the APC chieftain, accusing him of wrongdoing and issuing the life-threatening statement. (Facebook)
- Several social media pages reposted the video, captioning it with warnings like “Wale Adedoyin threatens to kill APC chieftain in Ilesa.” (Facebook)
- On Instagram, one reel states: “Wale Adedoyin, a former Osun State House of Assembly member and close associate of ex-Minister Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has been caught on video threatening to unalive the APC chieftain.” (Instagram)
Reactions & Public Outcry
The video has generated shock and condemnation among political observers, civil society groups, and social media users, who argue that such threats cannot go unchecked in a democracy. Several persons called for law enforcement intervention to ensure the safety of the targeted chieftain and accountability for Adedoyin.
One commentator on X (formerly Twitter) described the behavior as “political terrorism” and urged the Osun State Police Command to act swiftly. (X (formerly Twitter))
What Adedoyin Has Said (if anything)
As of now, no credible media source has published any denial, explanation, or comment from Wale Adedoyin regarding the video. I could not find an official statement from him refuting or confirming the threat within the past few hours.
Legal & Political Implications
If verified, the video could amount to a criminal threat, for which the law provides penalties. Under Nigeria’s laws, threatening someone’s life can be prosecuted, and law enforcement agencies may investigate the matter.
Politically, the incident could worsen tensions between factions in Osun State, especially given Adedoyin’s known alignment with Aregbesola’s camp. It may also impact Adedoyin’s standing and enable his political opponents to demand he be held accountable.
What Next?
- Security agencies — police, DSS — are expected to probe the matter, verify the authenticity of the video, and assess whether to press charges.
- Adedoyin himself — may issue a statement or explanation, especially as public pressure builds.
- APC leadership in Osun — may respond, either by condemning the threats, seeking legal remedies, or using the matter in internal party disputes.
Because the video is circulating widely online, it may influence public opinion ahead of upcoming elections. The manner in which authorities respond will also test the strength of Nigeria’s institutions in dealing with threats against public figures.

Speaking at the ACReSAL mid-term review meeting in Kaduna through the Commissioner for Environment and Natural Resources, Abubakar Buba, the governor explained that the use of geospatial tools has made it possible to accurately identify affected areas for targeted intervention.
He added that the project is not only focused on land recovery but also on boosting agricultural output and improving livelihoods in affected communities.
Sani also noted that the state is supporting the programme with empowerment initiatives, including training over 500 women, youths, and school feeding vendors in biomass briquette production.
According to him, the effort is already helping to reduce dependence on firewood while creating alternative sources of income for beneficiaries.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State has described moves to prosecute former Senate President Bukola Saraki and former Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed over alleged culpable homicide as an attempt to reopen the 2018 Offa robbery tragedy for political purposes.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In a statement on Friday, the party’s spokesperson, Olusegun Adewara, said the development is a disturbing and dangerous politicisation of a case they claim has already been addressed through judicial processes.
He warned against dragging the state into fresh tension, accusing the state government of attempting to revive old allegations for political advantage.
Adewara said the PDP would not remain silent while what he called “political narratives” are used to influence public perception around a tragic incident that claimed multiple lives in Offa in 2018.
He also urged residents, especially affected families, not to allow their pain to be used for political gains, insisting it is unjust to associate Saraki with the crime.
The party further alleged that the move is aimed at distracting attention from governance challenges in the state.
