The ongoing feud between Fuji music star Saheed Osupa and Islamic cleric Alfa Sunnah has taken a new turn, with the musician filing a formal petition with the Nigerian police. The petition accuses the cleric of cyberstalking, invasion of privacy, and defamation of character. This development follows weeks of intense online exchanges between the two parties.
Police Invitation Issued to Alfa Sunnah
A letter of invitation reportedly issued by the Police Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) has surfaced online, summoning Alfa Sunnah for questioning over the allegations. The petition marks a significant shift from social media confrontations to legal proceedings.
Origin of the Dispute
The tension escalated after Alfa Sunnah released alleged recorded phone conversations between himself and Osupa. In the audio, Osupa was purportedly heard making remarks about fellow Fuji icons Wasiu Alabi Pasuma and Ayinla Kollington. The cleric also accused Osupa of encouraging him to attack critics online, a claim that further fueled the dispute.
Osupa Denies Allegations
Saheed Osupa has denied any wrongdoing, distancing himself from the allegations. The singer, who recently clashed with Governor Seyi Makinde, maintained that the claims are misleading and damaging to his reputation. He emphasized that the leaked calls were obtained without his consent and misrepresented his words.
Alfa Sunnah's Defiant Response
In response to the police invitation, Alfa Sunnah released a video addressing Osupa directly. In the clip, the cleric challenged the Fuji musician and issued a seven-day ultimatum. He dared Osupa to use what he described as spiritual powers against him, insisting he was not afraid. Alfa Sunnah stated that he was ready to face the legal process and would not back down.
Public Reactions
The petition has sparked reactions from social media users. Some criticized Alfa Sunnah for his actions, while others questioned Osupa's motives. One user, @kingkunlecs, commented: "That's beautiful, he should explain himself over there... All the online jambla he was doing should stop." Another user, @TimiOgundare, noted: "For someone who fought against Oppression himself. Osupa's first intuition is very worrying."
Broader Context
The feud between Osupa and Alfa Sunnah is part of a series of controversies involving the Fuji star. In related news, media personality Do2dtun recently reacted to Portable's feud with Saheed Osupa, expressing surprise at the young singer's boldness. The ongoing legal battle highlights the growing intersection of celebrity culture and legal accountability in Nigeria.
As the case unfolds, observers expect further developments from both sides. The police investigation will determine whether Alfa Sunnah faces charges for cyberstalking and defamation, while the cleric remains defiant in his stance.
