Afe Babalola Obtains Court Order To Block Sale Of Farotimi’s Book On Amazon, Others

The Federal High Court in Abuja has issued an order to halt the distribution and production of the book “Nigeria and Its Criminal Justice System” authored by embattled lawyer Dele Farotimi.

The court ruling follows an application spearheaded by Afe Babalola through his chambers.

The court, under suit number CV/5372/2024, granted an interlocutory injunction sought by Mr. Babalola’s representative, Kehinde Ogunwumiju (SAN), on December 6, 2024.

The injunction restricts Farotimi and his agents, including major retailers such as Amazon, Rovingheights, Booksellers, Jazzhole, Glendora, and Patabah Books, from publishing, selling, or distributing both digital and physical copies of the controversial book.

Additionally, the court ordered the immediate seizure of all copies of the book, pending the resolution of the substantive suit.

The injunction follows the global success of Farotimi’s book, which recently topped Amazon’s global politics bestseller list.

The book reportedly sheds light on alleged manipulations of the judiciary by high-profile legal practitioners, including claims against Afe Babalola himself.

Farotimi’s publication, which critiques Nigeria’s judicial system, has sparked significant debate both locally and internationally. Sources indicate that the allegations within the book prompted swift legal action from Babalola’s team. The injunction also seeks to freeze royalties earned from the book’s sales.

Have you you seen me active since Monday, yet whenever I come online to drop comments, you are always here to remind me about looking for job with on average of 5 new monikers daily... Productive you oo

Stop living boring and uninspiring life all in the name of senseless years of trolling which you have achieved absolutely nothing with.

Stop allowing your situation to deteriorate

By the special Grace of Almighty God, Dele will defeat all his enemies in the judiciary . Dele’s book is everywhere now. No stopping here. Unborn generation will read the book

Sheuns:
How will the court do that?

Would they go to Amazon fulfillment centers worldwide to enforce this order?

How do they want to seize all the copies?

Where? In Nigeria or abroad?
