WITHIN NIGERIA recalls that Farotimi is currently in detention after his arrest following a petition by popular lawyer, Afe Babalola.

Babalola alleges that he was defamed in the particular book, insisting that Farotimi’s statements, also highlighted in media interviews and widely circulated online, were designed to destroy his reputation.

“All these statements are false and incorrect written deliberately to destroy my reputation. Dele Farotimi referred to me severally in his book as the Doyen of the legal profession,” he stated.

The activist pleaded not guilty to all the charges.
