The International Criminal Police Organization, INTERPOL,
has summoned an Ibadan-based broadcaster, Peter Olasupo to appear in its office
over alleged criminal defamation and cyber-stalking.
Peter is expected to appear at the INTERPOL’s office on 13th
January, 2025.
The broadcaster confirmed the invitation via a statement he
posted on his Facebook page.
The statement was obtained on Sunday.
Peter said that he received a letter report to INTERPOL
headquarters at force headquarters, Shehu Shagari Way, Garki, Abuja, on Monday,
30th December, 2024, at 11:00 am in furtherance of the investigation.
He added that upon receiving the letter through his boss,
the boss immediately contacted a lawyer who responded on his behalf.
He maintained that he has been rescheduled to appear at
INTERPOL’s office on Monday, 13th January, 2025.
Olasupo said, “I recently received a letter with the
headline Investigation Activities/Invitation Letter from the International
Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), informing me of an investigation into
allegations of Criminal Defamation and Cyberstalking involving me. They
requested that I report to INTERPOL Headquarters at Force Headquarters, Shehu
Shagari Way, Garki, Abuja, on Monday, 30th December 2024, at 11:00 AM in
furtherance of the investigation.
“Upon receiving the letter through my boss, my boss
immediately contacted our able lawyer Barr. Yomi Ogunlola, who responded on my
behalf, resulting in a rescheduled appearance date of Monday, 13th January
2025.
“Now, I have so many questions: Who reported me to INTERPOL?
Why INTERPOL? Who is defaming who? And who is cyberstalking who? My Lord, I am
innocent of these allegations
“At the moment, I don’t have full details of the matter, but
I will present myself at their office and fully cooperate with INTERPOL’s
investigation into the alleged case. However, I am curious— why must I report
to the Abuja office? Why can’t I report to the Nigeria Police Headquarters at
the Oyo State Command, Eleyele, Ibadan, or even their Lagos office, which would
be easier for me to reach by train?
“INTERPOL, if you truly want to facilitate this process,
shouldn’t you at least provide travel allowances? Or will you use police
helicopter to carry me? Traveling by air is costly these days, and traveling by
road has its risks. Yet, here I am being summoned to Abuja. Nonetheless, I will
do what is required.
“To my fans, please know that this will not affect my
dedication to doing the right thing or my professionalism, which you all know
me for. I remain committed to speaking the truth to those in power”.
When asked for the confirmation, Olasupo confirmed the authenticity
of the statement on Sunday night.
Olasupo said, “Good evening Sir. Yes, it’s true oo”.
