    INTERPOL Summons Ibadan Broadcaster Peter Olasupo Over Defamation and Cyber-Stalking Allegations – Ravenewsonline

    A popular Ibadan-based broadcaster, Peter Olasupo, has been summoned by the International Criminal Police Organization, INTERPOL over allegations of criminal defamation and cyber-stalking.

    In a statement released on his Facebook page, Olasupo said he is to appear at the force headquarters, Shehu Shagari Way, Garki, Abuja. According to him, he received an official letter on December 30, 2024, requiring him to report to INTERPOL headquarters, saying that his appearance has been rescheduled to Monday, January 13, 2025, to further the investigation.

    “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”.
