“My inability to speak to certain aspects of this issue is borne out of the fact that, despite the discontinuation of the criminal proceeding, I still have four suits that I am aware of, in four different states of the federation, filed by members of the same law office, against my person,” Farotimi revealed.

He maintained that his book was written in pursuit of justice, not personal vendettas.
