“I recently received a letter from the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) regarding an investigation into my allegations of criminal defamation and cyberstalking. The subject line reads, Investigation Activities/Invitation Letter.” 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.
My boss contacted our capable attorney Barr right away after receiving the letter through my boss. 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 being defame? Who is cyberstalking, exactly? 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 transport me by police helicopter? Traveling by road has its risks, and flying is expensive these days. Yet, here I am being summoned to Abuja. Nonetheless, I will do what is required.
