Afe Babalola, a prominent lawyer and university owner, has attributed the country’s increasing crime rate to poor educational standards.
The move to withdraw the defamation suit filed by IGP Kayode Egbetokun was stated in a notice of discontinuance dated January 29, 2025.
Legal icon Afe Babalola says he is ready to withdraw his criminal defamation suit against rights activist Dele Farotimi.
Mr Adeniran called on Nigerians to key into the humanitarian gestures carried out by Mr Babalola.
Mr Farotimi was released on Tuesday after meeting his bail conditions.
Mr Farotimi on Tuesday regained freedom from prison having met his bail conditions.
“Raining direct curses on someone online is cyberbullying, not expression of freedom or criticism,” said the police.
A presiding magistrate in Ado-Ekiti also confiscated the activist’s passport on Friday morning.
Afe Babalola has described the federal government’s approval of an agro-allied cargo airport in Ekiti as the best thing to happen to the state in 2024.
MUM further requested that the UK institution join others to demand Mr Farotimi’s release from the Nigerian jail where he has spent more than two weeks.
