Citing the conducts of lawyers and judges across courts in the case of Major Muritala Gbadamosi & Ors v. H.R.H Oba Tijani Akinloye & Ors, the author wrote that the Nigerian justice system has been marred by corruption, mirroring the broader systemic issues plaguing the country. · That Atilade O, Justice at the time and the Administrative Judge of the Lagos Judicial Division, unlawfully issued a warrant of execution based on the doctored judgment and without the enrolled order of the Supreme Court.
· That Afe Babalola libelled me and the fact of the libel became known to me in his suit against Lawal Pedro SAN. In pages 10-11, Mr Farotimi wrote, “I have always been familiar with the fact of our perversion as a people and I have few illusions about equity and justice reigning in Nigeria but I had always assumed that there were lines that should never be crossed. I was however slapped awake by the brazenness of the judicial brigandage unleashed on hapless citizens, corporate, and individuals by the Nigerian Supreme Court, acting under the direction of Aare Afe Babalola.
In pages 70 to 71, Mr Farotimi alleged that Supreme Court justices acted with utmost carelessness about the integrity of the court in doing Mr Babalola’s biding. “These statements are likely to set the legal profession and the society at large ablaze in a way that can disturb public peace. In an X post, prior to his arrest, addressed to the press and titled, ‘They want to silence me,’ Mr Farotimi insisted that all allegations levelled In his book are factual, adding that aggrieved persons have the option of the court to obtain redress.“I wrote the truth, and I stand by every single word in that book.” he said.
