Ibadan-Based Broadcaster Peter Olasupo Summoned by INTERPOL Over Allegations of Defamation and Cyberstalking

 

Peter Olasupo, a well-known Ibadan-based broadcaster, has been summoned by the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) to appear before its office over allegations of criminal defamation and cyber-stalking. According to a statement posted on his Facebook page, Olasupo revealed that he received an official letter from INTERPOL on December 30, 2024, instructing him to report to INTERPOL headquarters at Force Headquarters, Shehu Shagari Way, Garki, Abuja, at 11:00 am.

In his post, Olasupo explained that his initial appearance was rescheduled to Monday, January 13, 2025, as part of an ongoing investigation into the allegations.

“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,” Olasupo stated.

The broadcaster expressed his confusion over the situation, asking a series of questions in his Facebook post. “Who reported me to INTERPOL? Why INTERPOL? Who is defaming who? And who is cyberstalking who?” he wrote. “My Lord, I am innocent of these allegations.”

Though he acknowledged the seriousness of the summons, Olasupo raised concerns about the logistics of traveling to Abuja for the questioning. He questioned why he could not report to a more accessible location such as the Oyo State Command in Ibadan or the Lagos office of INTERPOL. “INTERPOL, if you truly want to facilitate this process, shouldn’t you at least provide travel allowances? Or will you use police helicopters to carry me?” he added humorously. Despite the inconvenience, Olasupo assured his followers that he would cooperate fully with the investigation.

In a separate confirmation to DailyPost on Sunday night, Olasupo affirmed the authenticity of the letter and the ongoing situation, saying, “Yes, it’s true oo.”

The case, which involves INTERPOL, has stirred public curiosity, with many awaiting further developments as Olasupo prepares to appear for questioning in Abuja. Olasupo concluded his message by reassuring his fans that the situation would not affect his commitment to professionalism and dedication to speaking truthfully to those in power.
