Renowned legal luminary and founder of Afe Babalola University, Afe Babalola (SAN), has spoken out regarding the detention of lawyer and activist, Dele Farotimi, over allegations stemming from his controversial book.
In a statement, Babalola expressed deep concern over the contents of Farotimi’s book, which reportedly contained several defamatory claims.
According to him, the publication not only questioned his integrity but also accused his law firm of unethical practices, including allegations of corrupting the judiciary.
Babalola, known for his towering reputation in the legal profession, described the claims as baseless and damaging to his decades-long career.
Farotimi’s detention has brought widespread reactions, with many questioning the legal and ethical implications of curbing free speech while also acknowledging the importance of safeguarding reputations against unfounded claims.
