The founder of Afe Babalola University Ado-Ekiti (ABUAD), Afe Babalola (SAN) on Friday lamented that the alleged defamatory remarks made against him by rights activist and lawyer, Dele Farotimi, in his book, has destroyed the reputation he has laboured to build.
Mr Babalola, who made this known on Friday at a press conference, held at the Afe Babalola Bar Centre in Ado-Ekiti, said the destructive action can’t be remedied by award of damages.
Speaking on behalf the legal icon, the former Justice Commissioner in Ekiti and his lead counsel, Owoseni Ajayi, said there are various misleading publications, particularly in the social media, about the ongoing matter between the Nigerian Police, and Dele Farotimi over his recent publication, titled: “Nigeria and its Criminal Justice System.”
