How does a petition to the LPDC prevent a court case from running its course?

So if you disbar Dele even before the trial begins what exactly are you trying to prove?

They shamelessly come online to propagate lies, deceiving themselves and fellow lovers of falsehood who lack critical minds to process information.

Another SELF INFLICTED DELUDEL UNINFORMED JUVENILE..

Yaya Bello is still held in detention..

Till he pays his bail of 500Million..his bail application was signed just yesterday...

You kids are so UNINFORMED and sentimentally Deluded..

Sundaymessi:
So if you disbar Dele even before the trial begins what exactly are you trying to prove?

What kind of question is that? There are three separate causes of action that may be brought against him:

1. Criminal charges: he can be sent to prison or asked to pay a fine.

2. Civil suit: he can be made to pay damages and may be prohibited from further sales of his book.

3. LPDC: this is a body that is particular to the legal profession and he can be disbarred by them, suspended, or other similar punishments.

Afe is within his rights under Nigerian law, to pursue all three avenues simultaneously. However, it should be noted that it is not Afe but Ade Faro who has dragged him before the LPDC.

You have NOT read the book,you bloody unintelligent primitive juvenile..

Dele says his proof is in his book for the whole world to see .

I have read the book..

I can even send you a copy if you have the discipline to settle down and read it but, obviously,you don't..

There is NO PROOF OF ANY NATURE in that book which he claims therein..

Assumption. There you go again, spewing your toxic e-DNA all over the web space like a rabid dog.

I won't glorify you with any further comments. Someday you'll remember your mother warned you.

Nobody can be a friend of obj and not be corrupt. Of a truth this shameless old man has a lot to hide. His own is just too much. Trump said a lot of lies and bullshit against Kamala and Biden and he wasn't sued or arrested.,??(

Exactly what Dele was saying..

JAMO84:
When you're being hyped by ipob/Obidients on social media. You will think you're invincible, until you walk into serious trouble and they abandon you like a used condom.

Ya. Everyone should shut up and lick Tinubu and his urchins ass because there will be trouble.


You think he didn't know what the consequences could be before he wrote the book.


Not everyone is afraid of losing material titles like you all think, hence preferring to become slaves.

Obidient are failure believe them at your own peril.

kunyeo:
Many would easily place a curse of short life on themselves by virtue of their utterances. You opened your mouth to call a 95 year old man a clown!

I never called anyone's name...you are assuming

No one can curse whom the lord has blessed

LegacyB:
You are the clown here . Imagine someone called you a thief without proof. Even if you’re ,the person must provide proof. We can’t keep supporting nonsense. We have brains in our head to think. Yes Afebabalola’s and is colleague might have done many disservice to this Nation. We can only hold them to account with proof not just sensationalism because we know that’s what people want.

I never called anyone's name...stop assuming too much

buckeyemedia:

Luke your father probably


But did I call anyone's name ?

Alliswell248:
Come out and say it

come out where and say what ? To whom?

I can't remember calling your father's name or anyone for that matter ....

Without any iota of apology, you are going overboard.

E don be for Dele o!

89green:
With all these happenings, if you still think Dele's book has no truth then you need to get some real medical check



You should be asking that why is the old man running kiti Kata left and right or does he think the truth can be surpressed



On point bro, Baba mind no settle at all

IS THE BABA NOT THE LAWYER THAT WAS SAID YO HAVE COLLECYED 250MILLION NAIRA FOR INCORPORATIMG A COMPANY WI 1 MILLION SHARE CAPITAL UNDER OBSSANJOS REGIME? I AM JUST ASKING...
AND IS HE THE PROORIETOR OF THAT UNIVERSITY, FROM THE PRSCTICE OF LAW without corruption? I smell truth in yhe book. My opinion.

coolcharm:
How did you know?
Is that how the justice system works?
Dele was right after-all … A criminal justice system!

That's what is coming to him no matter how long it takes. He tagged both lawyers and judges criminals and bribe takers up to the supreme Court without waterproof evidence in order to make money and you still think it is not over for him as a lawyer? He's done

They need to, they have to. Just look at the way he tarnished the image of the whole justice system in Nigeria just because he wants to make money from book sales!

Afe Babalola’s law firm has asked the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee (LPDC) to disbar Dele Farotimi, a human rights advocate, for alleged unethical conduct.

who owns Afe Babalola law firm?

SmartPolician:
Two Yoruba men are having issues, and everyone knows it's okay for people to have misunderstanding between them. If they were two Igbo men now, you would see lunatics go haywire with words like Igbos are Igbos' biggest problems and Igbo people hate themselves. There are too many mad but seemingly sane people in this country.

Your post here makes absolutely NO sense! It's completely off point.

This issue ISN'T between 2 men of Yoruba descent BUT it involves up to 10 different entities who have been extremely criminally defamed including the Supreme Court of Nigeria.

A lot of highly ignorant commentators (most of who are clearly identified Igbo monikers here on this thread right from page 1 and on many other threads have been using highly imprintable words to insult the 95-year-old iconic legal luminary Aare Afe Babalola, SAN, who unknown to many of them fully supported Peter Obi in his bid for the Presidency.

It's even more irritating (from your post and that of the others here that you all do NOT read properly and do NOT realize that the ORIGINAL case which this 56-year-old dude called Dele Farotimi is referring to is a Lagos State land matter involving a popular aristocratic Lagos land-owning family who Chief Afe Babalola's legal firm helped to win a Supreme Court case several years ago and gained the huge family land on the Lekki Peninsula back which the Lagos State government had acquired several years ago (during the military rule) and the developers of Pinnock Estate and other estates who had already built estates on the land went back and challenged the Supreme Court victory by the Eletu family to prevent their estates from being demolished. It was during this period that this 56-year-old Dele Farotimi was hired by one of the real estate developers in this case got involved. He was NEVER part of the original judgment that the 95-year-old Aare Afe Babalola won for the popular Lagos family and it was NOT a case of politics! It was a pure land matter. So, it was WRONG or Dele to cast severe aspersions on Afe Babalola for winning that land case at the Supreme Court for his client, and he further insulted and defamed the Supreme Court and up to 10 others including General Olusegun Obasanjo (rtd) in his book.

Read BELOW the rebuttal by Aare Afe Babalola, SAN, in 2 different publications to understand better the kind of very irresponsible words Dele used in the book.

https://punchng.com/how-dele-farotimi-defamed-me-afe-babalola/

https://www.thecable.ng/full-text-afe-babalolas-petition-on-how-dele-farotimi-defamed-him/

I have watched Dele Farotimi in past videos online, and I found some of his style of communication as that of someone suffering from a split personality disorder. There are some so-called human rights activists like that who some gullible people follow without realizing on time are mental cases or suffering from bipolar disorder!

The case is now in multiple courts and the right thing has been down to reign in this guy. There is NO room for absolute freedom to insult people with the intention of lowering their hard-earned reputation in the eyes of the public anywhere on earth. If you make multiple defamatory allegations online or offline, you have to back it up. Dele had earlier told Seun Okinbaloye on Channels Television before he was arrested for deliberately NOT appearing earlier in court after he was summoned since July 2024 that he is ready to be challenged in court. So, we will see how far he can extricate himself.

Mercy Chinwo, Eniola Badmus, Burna Boy, El-Rufai's son, the 2 PDP politicians who were criminally defamed by Deji Adeyanju recently, and many more have taken firm action about these acts of criminal defamations and/or cyber bullying against them which had lowered them in the eyes of the public. All over the world, online and offline defamation of character are NEVER tolerated and this one involving Aare Afe Babalola and others is in order and will be used to teach others a lesson (including Omoyele Sowore and that notorious online People's Gazette that are known for criminally manipulating news headlines and stories to deceive readers) on ethics and decorum.

viccy12:
Worry about yourself.....Afe Babalola will kpai untop this case! An old rotten corrupt lawyer who has no integrity

Are you the one that corrupted him. Even you, if searchlight is beamed on you is a walking suspect.

Without any hearing yet?

All these noise in attempt to intimidate witnesses.

Una go learn! Corrupt mofos!

Armanipounds:
The letter from Afe to LPDC is quite baseless... When has Afe become a spokesman for the Supreme Court? We do lots of nonsense here in Africa.. So because I have personal issues with a man, I should be seeking for him to be disbarred because he made some sensitive remarks? If those statements made by Dele ain't true, Afe should write a book too discrediting all that has been said by Dele, it makes more sense, or confine himself to the legal proceedings he has sinced commenced at whatever court.

I listened to Dele a couple of times and stopped. His languages, vocabulary etc does not represent the type of Nigeria I am hoping for, it is indecent, crude and full of bitterness.

His attitude is like someone who doesn't care if the baby is thrown away as long as the dirty water is thrown away; such attitude is not good for anyone, talk less for a country. Starting from the title of the book "Nigeria and its criminal justice system" brings insults and disrepute to the country and to all the truthful, patriotic, hardworking and loyal Nigerians in the judiciary given that it is rare not to have bad eggs in any system. It would have been better if he had isolated the issues he wants to deal with from the whole system.

The worst part is that he is a lawyer and should know better and see how he can explore the provisions of the system itself to clean itself or sponsor a bill that can bring reforms but he chose to go this way.

He said it himself that a court invited him and he didn't go, that they know his house.
He said anyone who is not happy with what he has written should go to court and yet he went after the Supreme Court like he doesn't even know his profession. Even if SC is not perfect, we don't have another one for now and it should remain supreme for rule of law and order to reign or we fall into anachy as a country and that will be chaos.

Many more cases will spirng up and he has gotten his desire.

Thank you!
I hope we get it one day.
One of the greatest thing I learnt in this case and others is "YOUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH STOPS WHERE MY RIGHT BEGINS"

@ghm

Succinctly stated. I'm glad you are one of the discerning folks here who have a full grasp of the legal events here. A lot of people just jump into serious legal topics without having elementary knowledge of what is going on.

This case is a "criminal defamation" case, so, if Aare Afe Babalola passes on today, then the court case will still continue. If the case is a "civil defamation" case, like that of Femi Falana, SAN, and his son against that YouTube so-called activist, then if they pass on today, the court case will NATURALLY die. There are just too many uninformed posters online and offline that need to be educated about the law instead of embarrassing themselves with their semi-literacy.

Fierce battle looms between two legal lumi.....loominaries

RealityOfReason:
What's your evidence for these wild ignominious accusations? If they trace you and pick you up now, they will start harsh-tagging justice for you. You are an example of a nonentity who knows nothing about building an illustrious career but everything about ruining others' reputation

You call Afe Babalola's an illustrious character? Or do you want to say Wole Olanipekun is a Saint too? Lol, it seems you are Gen Z. That is one of the problem with you Nigerians thinking you know what's up yet knew nothing. You people do not know an inch about what go behind the curtain. Why do you think Buhari send DSS against some judges years back. Who are those patronising them? It seems you need a tool to pull out the cataract in your eyes sọ you can see clearly.

FYI, Nigerians is a crime scene. If I tell you what go on there, it is people like you that will keep saying we are saying what is not there. You guys are nothing but pawns.

Your response is quite intelligible. Guess you're a lawyer?

An old adage said that "any pot that is continually on fire, has something that Matters inside it". For Afe Babalola and his law firm to be seeking disbarring of Dele Farotimi even when the matter is still in court is clear indication that there is something truthful in Dele's allegation.

However, truth can only be dragged but not suppressed.
