The clip drew widespread outrage, prompting Governor Adeleke to personally contact the Inspector General of Police and publicly demand that Fadahunsi be arrested.
Appearing via video call on TVC News on 11 August 2026, the senator pushed back firmly against the allegations, describing the footage as a fabrication produced using artificial intelligence.
Fadahunsi Calls Clip a Fabrication
"The 'Kill Accord' video posted by Davido is an AI video," Fadahunsi declared during the live interview, rejecting any suggestion that the content reflected his actual words or intentions.
During the broadcast, the TVC News host pressed the senator on whether his choice of language had been insensitive, given the climate of political violence already associated with Osun State.
A chyron on screen read "POLITICAL VIOLENCE IN OSUN STATE," underscoring the gravity of the situation as it unfolded in real time.
The senator's rebuttal came as Governor Adeleke continued to ramp up pressure, with the governor's call for arrest adding a fresh legal dimension to what had already become a heated political dispute.

Davido's Role in Amplifying the Video
The involvement of Davido, one of Nigeria's most prominent music stars with tens of millions of followers, significantly accelerated the video's reach.
The superstar's decision to share the footage brought it to an audience far beyond the usual political circles, ensuring the controversy could not be contained within Osun State alone.
Fadahunsi's team has yet to present technical evidence substantiating the AI claim, and the senator did not elaborate on who may have created or circulated the clip.
