It is very simple , the case is bailable , he will be granted bail at the next hearing , but if he has any proof about all the allegations he made against afe Babalola then he should present it to the court and Nigerians when the case finally gets on

You should not be arrested in a defamation case absolutely not it's a civil matter... U sue for damages... U can't go to prison for defamation

Why can't the judge set the bail today ? Since this is a basic matter?... The plan has always been to send him to prison for a few weeks

This should have been a civil matter, in a civil court, between Farotimi and Babalola

The Police should not have been part of this

If you feel someone has defamed you, sue for damages in a civil court, not criminal court

You see why some people think Nigeria can't work under this warped treatments.
What has court said? No appearance before a recognized court before being thrown into remand? Except it has happened and we were not told when

Depending on international jurisdictions, defamation is treated as a criminal offence instead of a civil wrong

Police officers came all the way from Ekiti State to arrest someone in Lagos State...

Police officers don finish for Lagos State ?

The guy that was arrested better have a strong case if not the Corrupt Judicial System he talked about will be used against him..

Illiterate, defamation has been decriminalized in Lagos state but very much effective in Ekiti state where the plantiff filed the suit.

That is the due process in Nigeria. If a case is filed in the wrong court or wrong section of the law, the court will throw the accused into prison until the prosecutor does the needful.

If the case is being delayed, the defence counsel can go to the state ministry of justice and demand that the accused be released. The ministry will grant the plea.

However, this case now is dicey because Mr. Dele accused the Supreme Court of being corrupt. Politicians (specifically Peter Obi) need to get involved or Dele should provide the evidence he said he has. Afe Babalola seems to have a soft spot for PO.

As a senior lawyer, I wish to state categorically that the Allegation are weighty and its a criminal defamation case and not a civil matter.

Hence the involvement of the police is justified.

It is left for Bar. Dele to defend himself with strong evidences and not hear say evidences.

Those who Dele has defamed in the passed and all toes he has stepped upon will cease this opportunity to get at him.

I

Senior lawyer my ass. Which judge has declared this case as criminal defamation?

Those are weighty allegations to put in a book , if they are no evidence that he corrupted the judiciary .

It is not unusual for folks to shoot their mouths calling the motherland a zoo and generally acting mannerless. He needs the environment of the correctional centre to have the home training he grossly lacks! He doesn’t yet know the Law!

It's not out of order
Afe reported the matter to the police and demanded his arrest
However, everything dale said about Afe was true
OBJ used Afe to corrupt the judiciary
OBJ might be responsible for 50% of the problems we are having today

How can there be evidence... How can you claim supreme judges are bribed and you don't have evidence but proceeded to publish it in a book for the whole world to see.

Obidients are too quick to throw up baseless accusations without minding the consequences.
