The International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) has summoned Peter Olasupo, an Ibadan-based broadcaster, to appear at its office over allegations of criminal defamation and cyber-stalking.
Olasupo received an official letter on December 30, 2024, requiring him to report to INTERPOL headquarters at Force Headquarters, Shehu Shagari Way, Garki, Abuja, on January 13, 2025.
The broadcaster confirmed the invitation via a statement he posted on his Facebook page.
Olasupo expressed his confusion and curiosity about the allegations, maintaining his innocence and stating his commitment to cooperating with the investigation.
He also questioned why he was required to report to the Abuja office instead of a closer location.
“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”.
