The clip, which circulated online on Sunday, captured Adedoyin saying in Yoruba: “Tell Femi Onigbogi not to come out; he should stay indoors. If he comes out, he will be killed.”

The footage, published by SaharaReporters, stirred outrage and exposed fresh divisions within the Osun APC.

In an interview with SaharaReporters on Monday, Adedoyin admitted the confrontation but claimed his words were said in anger after what he described as relentless insults from Onigbogi.

“The confrontation was never planned. It was a heated moment that escalated after Barrister Onigbogi hurled personal insults at me and extended the abuse to my family. As a human being with emotions and dignity, I reacted in the heat of the moment,” he explained.

Adedoyin also addressed a separate viral audio allegedly involving Onigbogi’s wife, Mrs. Dupe Dagunduro, in which she was heard raining curses on him.

In the recording, which spread widely on WhatsApp and Facebook, she said: “Before it gets cold, Wale Adedoyin, I join all the good women, all the bad women, and all the mothers in the world: you will die. A vehicle will kill you… You won’t be successful; you will be dishonoured everywhere you go.”

The audio drew backlash from social media users, who described it as “vile and unbecoming of the spouse of a legal practitioner.”

Adedoyin maintained that the couple’s actions provoked his outburst.

“The behavior of both Barr. Onigbogi and his wife, especially the tone and venom of their attacks, triggered my reaction. As someone with pride and integrity, I defended my name, my reputation, and my family,” he said.
