Is it a CRIMINAL offence to defame someone in the US?
Was the owner of ABC News kidnapped and handcuffed to court

What sufferhead mentality compares us to Americans for jungle justice but never for the use of our taxes to employ government workers for the provision of basics common services and utilities like pipe borne water?

nobody kidnapped farotimi, he was arrested and his whereabout is known.....until our laws are changed defamation remains a criminal offence..... U r shifting d post, if farotimi was asked to pay 15m to afe babalola, you'll still accuse d judiciary of being biased

Come what may,
1. This is still a defamation case.
2. The prosecution/plaintiff adopted an oppressive stance, unbefitting a law firm.
3. You would be against Dele Farotimi at every turn because of what he represents and what you represent.

Relax hearing never start, the case is a bailable offense but they purposely choose to detain him I believe just to punish him.

After that court proceedings can continue, so stop saying he is accusing someone without proof when he has not being given the chance to bring his proof forward.

I can 100k. I have no interest in impressing anyone or to devalue you as a person. I apologize if you feel that way. Leave Allah out of the matter. I am challenging you to read the book and counter my review with superior arguments.

I'd counter you as follows:

1. I agree with point one. It is incumbent upon the aggrieved to decide how he wants to pursue his case. If he wants to pursue civil or criminal defamation, that is his prerogative.

2. This argument is flawed and subjective. A petition was filed in a court. The respondent was aware of the petition. Instead of honouring the summons and responding to the petitions, he went to grant a press interview to argue that he was aware but won't honour it. He put himself above the law. Due to his non-appearance, a bench warrant was issued. This bench warrant was the instigation for the arrest. The police is Nigerian Police. They can effect any arrest so long as they have a warrant. There was no oppression by any law firm; rather, someone attempted to use social media to gaslight and deceive the public instead of attending a simple court summon. If he had done that, there would have been no bench warrant and no arrest and ther'd have been no noise.

3. This is called the fallacy of hasty generalization. Other applicable fallacies are: straw man, red herring, ad hominem, genetic fallacy and correlation causation fallacy. Your arguments are akin to some hare brains here who claim I am paid or wish to be paid to advance arguments that are against the popular stance of many. Ask for evidence of my payment, and you meet a brick wall. Take my points one by one, and puncture them with superior arguments. That is all I ask. If you can't do so, just say so and move on.

Why is your Afe not allowing the case to be trial in court? Instead on locking dele down, did he kill ? Has he done anything to warrant been detain ? You Nigerians deserve all the bad emperor's you get. All bunch of ass lickers . Dele has done his bit, history will remember him.

Given the contradictions of his profession, Babalola should have been circumspect enough to not jump into a public contest over his reputation. He seems to me like a man who has invested in being nice just so that he would not be remembered as a villain in Nigeria’s story. Now he is no longer the man with the carefully curated legacy who set out to redeem his image but the one who proved his critic right.

This made it for me.

So fighting a defamer now makes someone a narcissist.

Don't let this author deceive you. She has been writing articles for years and have
never specifically mentioned a name or point accusing fingers at people.

Before you mention names and point fingers, make sure you are absolutely sure of what
you are saying and there is evidence to back it up. Otherwise, you will find yourself in a very
deep mess that no social media noise can dig you from.

Yorubas you people are the true enemies of Nigeria, you people so much hate the truth most especially when it comes from your own kins.

Dumb comment...

Did Donald Trump use the FBI and the police to try to intimidate ABC and Stephanopoulos?

Sue Dele Farotimi to court if you think you were defamed...Let the courts decide and if found liable, exact a heavy fine on the offender as just happened in the US where sentient humans are in the majority...

There is no way a man of Dele's intellectual clout would make frivolous statements if he did not have cast=iron evidence...

Bro, to be candid, the Nigerian legal system is one of the most corrupt institutions in this country. We all know. It is just a pity that some battles are too difficult to fight. This is why the few good ones among us tend to keep quiet and watch in silence. Why are the judges very swift to sentence somone who steals a goat (mind you, this is a criminal offence of which I'm not in support), and leave most of public corruption cases surprisingly 'untreated'? We know all these things, but it is just a matter of 'who bells the cat?'.
We are all in the mess together. I respect your opinion.
Shalom.

Re: Afe Babalola: Of A Man And His Weakness - Abimbola Adelakun by abdsamad(m): 11:21am On Dec 16, 2024

Is it lowkey illiteracy that is haunting or people or just willful ignorance?

Why will someone read that and still say stupid things like... You shouldn't challenge someone like that without evidence to back it up.

The complain is that you shouldn't throw a man a jail when all you have is an accusation of defamation. If you want to throw someone in jail for defamation (which i dunno how it even makes sense to do so) it should be for proven defamation.

Farotimi is in custody for alleged defamation. If the matter goes to court and all the evidence that you're screaming for shows he was right, you won't say you're sorry for speaking nonsense in the first place, nor would you support his opponent being thrown in jail for the same period he was wrongly detained

As a school teacher, you committed blunders with your assertions. You started by attacking my person instead of challenging what I said. I wonder what you teach your students.

You have state-wide awards? If I started discussing my awards, I'd be reducing myself to your low standards.

Be humble.

My challenge to you is to read the book and argue with information, not fallacies like you did. I didn't ask you to teach me anything. Teach yourself is what I ask.

https://www.nairaland.com/8288169/nigeria-criminal-justice-system-dele

The grand issue issue is that Dele Farotimi inserted himself in a case he was never a party to and started crying more than the bereaved.

Until now, we have not been convinced where Afe Babalola erred in law in getting Dele Farotimi arrested after the latter ignored court summons and was doing social media gaslighting.

Are you not an APC supporter and apologist? You didn't disappoint.

Why Would Farotimi have supported Peter Obi emerging as the Presidential Candidate of the LP
after less than a week in a Party that was more than 20 years old if Farotimi himself was not a strong supporter of Corruption?

Why didn’t Farotimi ask Peter Obi to Step aside for those who had spent 2 decades
building the Labour Party .

Peter Obi emerging as LP Presidential Candidate was Corruption Personified

APGA was the party that Peter Obi had helped to build and that was where he was supposed to be .contesting

The rest is Hypocrisy
