Nigeria is the real Animal Farm George Orwell wrote about.
Just pray not to have trouble with powerful men in Nigeria.
Before the eye's of the judiciary and police, they will oppress that person and such person may never get Justice.

stevups:
Do you think the writer did not know what he wrote?

Now he has a great opportunity to tell www what he knows about Aare Afe Babalola! The interest of the book he authored is best served though his testimony in court. Let the games begin!

JASONjnr:
There's no sense in this......

You should charge him to court and he should go there to defend his words and not arrest him like a common criminal and throw him inside cell....


Tony is misbehaving ever since he started robbing his flat shoulder with Tinubu.

Normally anyone with the name Babalola always act with emotions and lacks sense of reality......

Dele is going to come out of this victoriously....

you read this news so?
It's a judge that sentence him.
Let him bring his evidence of all allegation abeg.

onatisi:
Whaoo. If he has his facts and evidences he should present them to the court. I think it is a god thing for defamation issues and cases to be settled in court. It will really help sanitise the system a bit

Sanitize which system and by who? The same system operated by those that need to be sanitized?

What happened to Jurisdiction

Your father should have taught you what jurisdiction means, illiterate.

gidgiddy:
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

They need the police to arrest him from Lagos to Ekiti where justice can be bought as the complainant is well know there and have strong influence in the state…what a confused justice system

Well if correction is in the hand of who committed the wrong to whom shall we complain

This is madness.
What the hell is going on in this country?

yarimo:
Defaming? That means 100% bitter Obidients will be arrested

Give it time, you BP will soon get you. It is so real!

Nigerians never suffer reach. We love celebrating our oppressors. Whoever chose to die in your war died in vain.

Keep celebrating in economic suppression and oppression all in the name of fighting on behalf of your state captors. Iya a je kisa si yin lara.

Extremely myopic people and nation I've ever seen in existence. So beclouded and deluded with immediate gains only.

Defamation. Where else can one be detained for Defamation. Only in the jungle called Nigeria.

I am sure people like only u only listen to pedestrian statements on defamation. I doubt if u have read anything independently on it.

There is a criminal aspect to defamation. It depends on the one u which to pursue if you are defamed carelessly by a loosed mouth like this arrested self acclaimed human right lawyer.

We should not be continually encourage people to go on social media, TV or radio stations to defame people carelessly abd then turn around to claim the victim when a petition is written against them for criminal prosecution by the state. Is it every individual that us defamed who has d money to pursue a civil case in d Court?........

This is nonsense

Afe babalola is a stooge. He is being used[/quote]

What arrant nonsense!

Police prosecutor, Samson Osun called for the remand of the suspect in prison custody pending further investigation and it’s outcome for the maintenance of security in the country.

In his ruling, the presiding Magistrate, Abayomi Adeosun remanded the suspect in prison custody and adjourned hearing till December 10.

gbaskiboy:
Lawyer dey arrest lawyer. This life no balance

Na Tinubu government arrest Farotimi, no be Babalola.
Defamation of Babalola is no reason why Farotimi is detained.

Both of them are the same. Are Babalola defended OBJ till obj looted the country blind and both of them has a private university. He also has sympathy for Obidient, same as dele. Make dem dey fight themselves

Truth must be told. This Dele Farotimi of a guy talks without guarding his mouth. When he opens his mouth, he doesn't care whose ox is gored. Let taste the prison. This will curtail future excesses.

Tinubu's use of arrest of critics as tool - before long, Tinubu shall be left with only his Alleluia singers alone.

Pls answer this simple question
Has anybody been convicted a criminal in this case?
The one that warrants swat team and rrs that moved from lagos to ekiti to abduct a person?

You are the pedestrian here o.
Or if you want to defend evil, better come out with your full chest

Encouraging people to carelessly defame people who work hard to get to where they are just because you are able to buy 1000 Naira cheap Internet data is dangerous to the society...

An individual that is defamed has the right to pursue a criminal or civil defamation case in the court depending on the degree of damages he or she has suffered.

Hence, d emotional blackmail of saying, go to court for civil action has become a broken disc. If you plan to defame ur fellow, u should be prepared to face d consequences.

He’s going to familiar territory and will get enough material for his next book which, he will, hopefully, write with some common sense and the benefit of some semblance of home training! He needs some correction!!

By the time the Police mismanage the case SAN who can't appear in the Magistrate Court will fight to withdraw it. I sincerely believe that Dele is exactly where he wants to be.

E shock you, abi? You remand someone you went to pick up all the way in Lagos for further investigation and you think after arraignment he will respond to your questions. Nigerian Police can be so hopeless
