According to sources, the activist lawyer is facing a 16-court accusation of defamation of character against Aare Afe Babalola SAN, a prominent lawyer and the founder of Afe Babalola University.
In his recently released book, “Nigeria and Its Criminal Justice System,” he was charged with defaming and slandering Afe Babalola.
