Kindly share this story:
A lawyer representing human rights activist and legal practitioner Dele Farotimi, Tope Temokun, has refuted claims that his client sent former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to appeal to the octogenarian legal icon, Afe Babalola, regarding an alleged defamation suit.
Naija News reports that Temokun clarified this during an appearance on the Sunday edition of Inside Sources with Laolu Akande, a socio-political programme on Channels Television.
In early December, Farotimi was arrested by the Ekiti State police at his Lagos office and transported to Ekiti State for prosecution. The charges stem from his book, Nigeria and its Criminal Justice System, in which he accused Afe Babalola of judicial corruption and procuring a revised Supreme Court judgement.
Farotimi pleaded not guilty to all charges and is currently remanded in prison for two weeks as legal proceedings unfold. He also faces related charges in Abuja and Oyo State.
Temokun, who visited Farotimi in prison on Friday, said the activist denied sending Peter Obi to seek an out-of-court settlement with Babalola.
Temokun added that Farotimi remains in high spirits and is optimistic about overcoming the legal challenges he currently faces in court.
He stated: “I visited Mr. Dele Farotimi in a correctional service in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State yesterday afternoon.
“The events of the recent days; the visit of Mr. Peter Obi, the (2023) presidential candidate of the Labour Party, to Aare Afe Babalola, his visit to Mr. Dele Farotimi, created some lack of clarity. People are not so clear about some things, people are not clear about what is going on. It is on the basis of this that I had to visit him yesterday, and we sat together and had a good discussion.
“After Peter Obi left Ekiti, the news that filtered the town to the issue of the conditions for release, the issue of apology, the issue of whether Mr. Dele Farotimi is able to do this or that to come out.
“I told him (Farotimi): the reason why I am here is to confirm from you, ‘What do you think should be done?’ The visit of Mr. Peter Obi to you in person and the subsequent visit to Aare Afe Babalola, what do you know about it? What is your message to Aare Afe Babalola? What is your message to the people outside? What is also your message to me as part of your legal team?
“He (Farotimi) said if anybody who is very familiar with his antecedents, with his principles, with his philosophy over time should join anybody to believe that in a matter where he had written a book that he had published and that had been in circulation, that if anybody, somebody who has a brain should join others to believe that he has sent anybody to beg anybody, he said he will be so disappointed in that person.
“He told me categorically that even you, Tope, if you join anybody to believe that I could beg anybody or that I have sent anybody to beg anybody, I will be so disappointed in you.”
A shocking incident unfolded at Akoko Anglican Grammar School in Arigidi, Ondo State, as a Senior Secondary School student, Habib Salau, was fatally stabbed by a female classmate identified as Sandra.
The tragic event occurred after school hours on Thursday, following an altercation between the two students.
Eyewitnesses reported that the scuffle escalated, and during the fight, Sandra stabbed Habib with a knife. His body has since been deposited at the Specialist Hospital mortuary in Ikare.
According to All Dew News, Sandra admitted that the knife used in the attack was provided by a student from Ajiroke Technical School, raising further concerns about violence and weapon access among students.
The school community has been thrown into panic and grief, with teachers describing the event as a tragic and distressing occurrence.
One teacher, speaking to reporters, expressed disbelief and sadness over the situation.
The Ondo State Police Command spokesperson, Funmi Odunlami, confirmed the incident and assured the public that the case has been transferred to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for a thorough investigation.
Odunlami also emphasized that the police are committed to uncovering the full circumstances surrounding the death of the student, and justice will be served.
This incident has raised serious concerns about student violence and the need for stricter measures to ensure the safety and well-being of students within school premises.

Soldiers beat Lagos KAI official to stupor #Lagoskaiofficial #Lagosstate
An official of the Lagos State Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI) was lucky to escape death after soldiers descended on him and beat him to stupor on the orders of senior military officers.
According to the state Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, officials of KAI, the agency saddled with the task of ensuring the overall cleanliness of the environment in the state, were attacked by the soldiers while undergoing their lawful duties in the Yaba area where one of them was beaten up almost to the point of death.
Without stating the alleged offence of the KAI team, Wahab wrote on his X handle:
“Earlier today, officers of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (KAI), lawfully engaged in their duties in Yaba, were subjected to an unprovoked attack by personnel of the Nigerian Army under the directive of Major Adebiyi and Captain Gowon.
“We extend our sincere gratitude to the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General T. Lagbaja, and the Director of Chaplain Services, Lt. Col. T.E. Ogbonyomi, for their swift and decisive intervention in support of civil authorities.
“Their leadership has ensured that KAI officers continue to carry out their responsibilities without further disruption, reinforcing the principle that military personnel are subject to the authority of civil governance within their jurisdictions.
“We strongly condemn this unwarranted and unacceptable assault on officers executing their lawful duties. Moving forward, such acts will not be tolerated.
“We remain committed to ensuring a #CleanerLagos by upholding safety and sanitation standards across the state.”
