The Founder of Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti (ABUAD), Aare Afe Babalola, SAN, has announced his decision to withdraw the criminal defamation and cyber-bullying cases filed against activist and lawyer, Dele Farotimi.
The decision, revealed on Monday, came after a late-night meeting held at ABUAD, where Yoruba monarchs, led by the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, and other prominent traditional rulers, mediated between the parties involved.
Speaking after the deliberations, Babalola expressed his willingness to put the matter to rest, stating, “I will tell my lawyers to withdraw the case.”
The dispute stemmed from a petition Babalola filed with the Ekiti State Commissioner of Police, accusing Farotimi of defamation over statements made in his book, ‘Nigeria and Its Criminal Justice System’.
