Una no get sense everything na Peter Obi. Una no get una brain to use

SmartPolician:
Dele says he has facts aka proof! Why was he then arrested and thrown behind bars? How can he even depend on the judiciary he calls corrupt to save him?

The biggest protest in Nigeria was against police brutality. The next one will be against the judiciary.

Those who don't want peaceful revolution are making violent revolution inevitable.

Peter Obi and other LP members should get involved in this matter. Rich men should stop oppressing people in this country.

The fact is that Dele Farotimi won't go to this length if he's not having weighty evidences,the only thing that will surprise me is if Dele is not prepared for what to come after publishing what he wrote concerning the corrupt judiciary in his book.

buygala:
These are very weighty allegations to make ...The fact that he is a lawyer and still made these allegations makes it even worse.

I know there isn't one court in Nigeria that will rule in his favor that the Supreme Court aided fraud...and even if there is, the case's final appeal will be heard by the same Supreme Court


Dele is in for a lonnnnng ride

adioolayi:
"The story I intend to tell is wrapped around the above facts and have been carefully espoused to highlight only the facts of the matter. Afterall, of what use is a lawyer without his facts?"

Alright then, Mr Farotimi, all you wrote are very deep and I do hope you have those FACTS..

Now you have been arrested, and from what I have read that you wrote, I think Afe Babalola and everyone you have mentioned, including the Supreme Court, do have rights to write petitions against you, especially, if they know what you wrote is untrue.

Now, present your FACTS and be free...then, sue them again for assault!

Which kind of twisted logic is that?

They should sue him for libel/defamation and prove their case in court...

Using the police to harrass him is mediaval crudeness taken to the nth power...

Charbliss90:

Na you wey no get sense because you don't know the relationship between PO and Dele.

nedekid:

But lawyers have said there is a criminal side to defamation in our laws in which case you can report to the police for investigation and prosecution. You can chose to face the civil side by suing just as the falanas did. But are Nigerians still not accusing falana of oppressing vdm throught the judiciary?

Well, I'm not a lawyer and I have not read anywhere where it specifically says that it's part of our laws. If it is then it's ok.

But as previously stated, Nigerians can be very hypocritical. They laugh when it favors them and complain when it doesn't. Most are not objective. Self gratification is more important than thr overall well-being of the society. That's why we are were we are today.

How do you sue?

Especially on defamation...is it not by submitting petitions to security agents? ..and they will instigate and charge the case to court

I don't understand

adioolayi:


No need to whip up sentiments...those are heavy allegations...

If he has his facts, he should prove it at the court.

You appear to be thinking with your hands...

Justice is about assuaging petty whims and caprices: it is about following standard procedures and rules of engagement codified as laws and statutes.

have you considered the possibility that he could be telling the truth?

Sultanofpiglets:
Thank God .. no IGBO person is actually in this fiasco.

When the Judiciary is compromised what is the Hope of the common man?

Anywhere they dominate they destroy with sophisticated failure

They are fighting for principles and not money. Naturally.

You are actually the one not thinking straight.

Someone wrote a petition to the police for an alleged offence..
The police will investigate and charge the case to court..
Both parties will proof their case in case.


Which part of the above have been bridged

I am not saying he is not right or Afe Babalola is wrong..

I am saying both parties should argue their case in court

PressMyButton:


I love this, this leaky basket mouth will rot in the darkest part of jail. The manner at which he runs his mouth, I knew one day, he would run it enter a trap. You come enter Afe Babalola's trap.
Thank Goodness, no be FG arrest him, those bitter people would have been insulting Mr President.
All these defamatory statements he wrote in his book, where will he get evidence to proof them?, I don't pity him and his bitter supporters.

God bless Nigeria.

people like you have vowed to be slaves forever

This is the danger of the social media...

You jump into a matter in which you have next to zero knowledge on...

The matter is intrinsically a civil case. He should have filed a suit against the accuser and then wait for adjudication and tendering of verdict and not seeking some form of self-help by using the police to intimidate.

The arrested man has been consistent in his views. The other guy is a typical example of why the judiciary is DEAD.

So forget principles..it's a fight between Good and Bad.

Another wasted sperm speaking....

Are you this brainless?

Ask your father.

straighttalk:
Unfounded allegations

What makes it unfounded allegations? Do you have contrary facts to the ones he has cited?

This is very serious

He even libeled against the supreme court

They will really go after Him

Pandora Bitter Obi is not only a rich man but also a hypocrite who wants to be seen as a labourer communist.

bennybuhari:
“’I cannot take anything back about Obi. I said Obi said he wants to move Nigeria back from consumption to production and I said that is not true. He cannot do it because his own business survives on consumption. Is that a lie? He has been an importer and I said he deals with cash and carry economics; container economics, imports”.

“All the goods that can be produced in Nigeria, Obi imports them in his supermarkets. That is consumption economics. That kind of person cannot tell you that he is moving you from consumption to production. He will then be committing self-economic suicide and Obi will not do that to himself”.

“So, Obi is deceiving everybody and I can’t take that back because that is true.

This one is a very big cross for him

He should have chosen his battles carefully

I don't think Gani Fawehimi did things like this

You are a pig. a senseless one at that.
The should take him to court, Police harassments is not the way to prove libel.

This is more of a personal beef. I hope he has overwhelming evidence to back himself up.

Arresting him was wrong, he should have been invited or charged to court. Much respect to the Femi Falana

The judicial system is corrupt and was more evident during the last election tribunal. Someone needs to sanitize the judicial system and maybe Farotimi will do just that but it will come with a price.

The case is in court, he is a known person and the offence is bailable so why is he detained for days until hearing?

So cant the hearing be done online using zoom? Must you remand an accused for days because you want a physical presence in a physical court?

Virtual Courts for settling of scores should be launched, and AI as Constitutional Judge. It wouldnt take a minute to administer justice.

I didn't bother to read anything, Afe babalola is a criminal. Very corrupt Idiot recognised and rewarded by a sick government. Bastards

All I'm waiting to see is if the Ekiti court even has jurisdiction to try him there in the 1st place. The alleged defamation took place in Lagos. The plaintiff lawyer would explain why and how he was brought to Ekiti. The script is playing out exactly how Mr Dele Farotimi planned it. Who no know go know. Grabbing my 🍿.

The shameful lost in Lagos still dey pain them

olisaEze:
Wow, from the excerpt he released he evidently needed the arrest to publicize the facts of his case. Since he wasn’t satisfied with the SC handling of the matter, they unwittingly helped him bring it themselves to the Supreme Court of Public Opinions. Order!!! Court is in session. Grab ur popcorn and hold on to ur benches, it’s not looking like an open & shut case anymore!

They will withdraw the matter eventually. Bookmark this. The man looks like he is where he wants to be.

He talks too much without evidence. A lawyer for that matter....he should know better

No. He will not rot in jail. at last, it will end in civil matter. Everywhere in the world, criminal deformation is an aberration.

Judolisco:
No need to shout or cry thank God, he is also a lawyer... He should jst prove all dis stuffs in court..... He should be released on bail...

Prove it to who? The same supreme court?
