Private investigator, Paul O’ Sullivan concerned about his personal safety

Private investigator, Paul O’ Sullivan, is adamant that he will not appear in person before parliament’s Ad Hoc Committee probing police corruption. 

Speaking to EWN O’ Sullivan raised concerns about his personal safety. 

He believes appearing before parliament in Cape Town would make him a target and expose him to the possibility of being killed.

O' Sullivan has agreed to appear before the committee probing police corruption virtually and not in person. 

O’ sullivan is on the list of several noteable figures who are expected to appear before the committee this month. 

This includes Cead of crime Intelligence, Dumisani Khumalo, and former IPID boss, Robert Mcbride. 

O’ Sullivan claims he informed Parliament as early as November last year that he will not appear in person due to safety concerns. 

"Any attempt to get me into a position where I will be harmed and can be murdered, I will resist. I’ve got a Constitutional right to life and I note that it’s criminals in Parliament who are calling for me to appear in person, and I’m not going to fall for that trick from criminals.”

Oral hearings are scheduled to resume this week with former acting national police commissioner Khomotso Phahlane set to appear on Wednesday.
