I don't even know why this issue is causing such an uproar. This is a family affair and should be treated as such. If Afe Babalola wants to incarcerate Dele Farotimi until the 2027 elections, e no suppose concern us. Their brother in Aso rock will call them to order when he's ready .

Well, we may see Peter Obi as a mediator..which is very good.
There is nothing wrong in finding out of the court settlement on issues..it's a peace initiative.

My only concern here is glare hypocrisy playing out among the so called sympathizers of Dele Farotimi....You can't be claiming Dele Farotimi has done well and he is on the side of the law on one side and also label Afe Babalola a monster at the other side....then, turn back to support a call for a peace move...since you are so sure Dele Farotimi has never committed any crime.

If he has not committed any crime, as many as labelled what happened a civil suit...then ,there is no need for any emissaries to go and beg Afe Babalola.

I know some will argue Dele Farotimi didn't send Peter Obi to beg....well, what an elder see while sitting, a young person will not see even on a ladder.

I strongly believe Peter Obi would have acted from loads of wise counsels.

It's well.

By the next hearing date, the magistrate will be unavailable. This will be a lesson to people who blackmail at will and ask you to go to court, that they can't do that shiit to everybody. I hope VDM will learn from this that that his trainee lawyer may not save him all the time and that not all people send social media noise which is the only strength of these people in support of lies, blackmail, cyberbulling

So, you be tribalist sef


Used to think you're one unbiased logical being

Like Yahaya, Like Dele

Our Judiciary is working

On a lighter note, Sowore is about to stage a protest in Kampala and Antananarivo, well-supported by notable upcoming Twitter influencers like Pity Obi and Aisha Yesufu, in a bid to ensure the street court approves the bail before Dec 20, 2024


All man for himself. Mobs wont leave SM to come change the verdict of the judge

Chimaokigwe:
Exactly.
Dele Farotimi is getting the home training his parents didn't give him.
I don't know why that dunce called Obi is doing chochocho

To treat a lawyer in such manner for a case that is not murder , not corruption, not theft, just defamation is highly embarrassing to all those who call themselves lawyers in Nigeria including the stupid Magistrate being used by Afe Babalola. If you cannot treat your fellow colleague accused of a simple offense with some level of professional camaraderie and esprit de corp just because a bigger lawyer is involved exposes the ugly underbelly of the Nigerian judicial system. If it was not Afe Babalola, why would Dele be doing in detention by now for an offense that even police can grant bail.

Him thank God them go release am b4 Christmas

LegendHero:
Nice one.

Someone cannot work for years, build reputation, suceed, and then a derangeeed looking man will come and defame him by writing lies in a book without any evidence because of social media clout.

Online noise, tears, wailing, and vituperation will not influence court decision. Ask Dele to show evidence now and he can be a free man.

His wet dreams is to go to jail, and Afe Babalola will ensure that.

We Nigerians have to respond to this people called judiciary,by coming out to show the world that Mr Dele have fighting for Nigerians it is our turn now to fight for him,even during military regime it wasn't like

BoldBrainz:
Gbam!

Babalola should lock him up and throw away the keys until the ill-mannered lunatic learns to respect his elders according to Yoruba ethics, even if those elders are thieves and Judicial conmen😊.

prickursense:
I believe to answer the question you have posted, put yourself in Afe Babalola's shoes. Having done that, you can then see why Dele should be detained,and processed through the very justice system he so easily accused of malfeasance, without tangible evidence.

I hold Dele Farotimi in high regard. I see Dele as a honest person, and a right thinking human rights activist.

A human rights activist must respect the rights of other people, because a whole lot of people hold him in high esteem and probably believe what he is saying in the media, while forging his brand of activism.

The brand of activism becomes suspect, if a lawyer, who is an activist, become remanded in prison for breaking the law for defamation. That means his activism is not genuine. His activism is not sincere, because he did not research the law properly for him to realise that he did not have legal ground to stand on, in this matter with Afe Babalola. He may not have malice-afore-thought. But he has mens Rea in the broad sense of the word. This is the reason why there will be a criminal conviction. Dele has mens Rea. The book title demonstrates that.

Some people will say, Afe Babalola should pardon and let it go. That is not going to happen.

Dele should know better than defame his professional group, of which he is an active member. He will be taught a difficult lesson. They will waste his most precious asset, his time, and then he will spend a lot of his own money until he starts to be his own legal counsel. Nigerians will learn about defamation from this case.

NB: Every professional body or association around the world is like a cult group. They have priority with main objective to look after members interests, especially loyal members.

Crazy country

eldoradoxx:
Did he defame the judiciary or his profession by saying that Afe Babalola has corrupted the system? I have absolutely nothing against Afe Babalola SAN, all am saying is why detain Dele for an offense that a police corporal can grant bail. It goes to prove his allegations against the judiciary as true.

bobby007:
he need to provide evidence for his lies or true, if babalola na ur papa how u go feel

Anyone says another person committed a crime is the person that must prove it and not the person that is accused according to my friend that is a lawyer. So let Afe prove that he is not corrupt. Like i said, I have very deep regard for Chief Afe, but i believe he should have sued him for defamation. This criminal matter does not make sense, it exposes him more as controlling even the Magistrate in Ekiti
