Speaking on the matter during an interview with ARISE NEWS on Tuesday, Ogala described the claims as “ridiculous and insulting” to the 95-year-old Babalola, a revered figure in Nigeria’s legal and educational circles.
Afe Babalola, at 95, being used by who to achieve what? I think it’s ridiculous for those who say such. That is most ridiculous and insulting on Chief Afe Babalola, a revered icon, a legend, a prominent Nigerian educationist and lawyer who has put in 63 years of legal practice, risen to the very highest peak of the profession,” Ogala stated.
