KingTom:
Elders say he's 97 in fact

iamoyindamola:
He's a man with different age
Just like someone we can't mention 🤣🤣🤣

BlueRayDick:
The man was given birth to at a time when people estimate year of birth by referencing a particular incident that happened during that period.

It is most likely the man just guess and adopted a year that he estimated from what he heard from his parents and or elderly relative.

The koko be say the man na very old man.

Personally I'm not invested in the case. Na lawyer vs lawyer matter ,make dem sort themselves.

iamoyindamola:
So 95 yo man arrested him🤣

BlueRayDick:
He wrote a book about the criminality of the Nigerian justice system and he name dropped some judges and senior lawyers as being heavily involved in the corruption of our judiciary ( from his own view point ) .

One of the people he named is Afe Babalola and he’s used Nigerian police to carry him while the others have been suing him to different courts for defamation .

That’s the summary

iamoyindamola:
That's why I was surprised with the arrest , for him to be calling names and pointing fingers he must have legit claim

GloriousGbola:
sowore is playing court of public opinion by referring to some wikileaks cables that implicate the man

unfortunately, as far as i can tell, these are not admissible in a court of law

its may be a moral victory for DF, but that is where it ends

Ibime:
No doubt the man is corrupt like all of Nigeria's judiciary, but a fellow lawyer should know that he who alleges must prove

Imagine getting oppressed by a man eating through feeding bottle

The bold is not necessarily true sha.

Normally Nigerian legal system is very slow on this kind of cases. If the baba do civil case with him, e fit take like maybe 2 years for high court to rule. Now he will appeal and those ones will take some years again and then supreme court.

I am not God o, but the chances of a 97 year old man seeing through such number of years in court is very slim. Maybe na why the baba kukuma use his influence pursue criminal defamation case ASAP because if the baba pass on and the civil case still dey court that time, the judge will just discontinue the case.

My personal theory is that Afe Babalola is not a saint and has skeleton in his cupboard considering he was lawyer to government during Babangida era, during Abacha era and was also Obasanjo's personal lawyer who did a whole lot of stuff for baba Iyabo. In fact, in 2006 during a senate hearing Atiku alleged that Obasanjo paid Afe Babalola N250m of government fund to just register a company. The man has influence and most likely used it in favor of the clients who can afford to pay his fees.

However I don't think Dele Farotimi will be able to prove that in court. I believe he wrote what he wrote because he knows the baba may not have enough juice in him to see through the defamation case in his lifetime.

NB: This is my personal opinion o

KingTom:
That one was 69 for 4 years and now he'll be 70 for another 3 years 🤣

iamoyindamola:
You are right the man might not see through the case, I still feel some people are the one pushing this case because I doubt the old man even read or understand the book
