Conditions for the release of human rights attorney Dele Farotimi have been set by the legal team of Senior Advocate of Nigeria Afe Babalola.
Farotimi will be set free once he substantiates the accusations of defamation against the SAN, according to Babalola’s legal team.
This was revealed by his attorneys, Owoseni Ajayi, Olakanmi Falade, and Lawrence Fasanmi, at a press conference held Friday in Ado Ekiti, the capital of Ekiti State.
According to the attorneys, Babalola asked the police to look into the false accusations made by Farotimi in the book “Nigeria and its Criminal Justice System.”
They clarified that the purpose of the law enforcement agency’s court charge against Farotimi was to give the law the opportunity to consider the situation.
According to Ajayi, the purpose of the press conference was to rectify the numerous false reports about the ongoing matter between the Nigeria Police Force and Farotimi.
He said, “All facts are verifiable. I urge Nigerians to verify and find out what the truth is first before picking a side.
“Is it wrong for Aare Afe Babalola to seek justice for these false utterances against him? Should justice only be available to Mr Dele Farotimi because Aare Afe Babalola is a global icon?
“Once Mr Dele Farotimi can show proof that his assertions in the book are true, then he will be free.
“The law allows free speech, but not one that is calculated to injure the good reputation of another.”
