A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Olu Daramola, has filed a N500 million lawsuit against Dele Farotimi, a popular lawyer, over alleged defamation in his book titled Nigeria and Its Criminal Justice System.

The lawsuit, filed at the Ogun State High Court, claims that certain statements on page 64 of the book are defamatory and have subjected Daramola to “ridicule, odium, disrespect, disrepute, and scorn” in the eyes of the public.

Daramola seeks a court declaration that the book has damaged his character, reputation, and professional standing as a diligent and trustworthy lawyer.

He is also seeking an apology from Farotimi, to be published in The Guardian and The Punch newspapers, as well as the removal and destruction of all copies of the book currently in circulation.

This latest legal action follows a similar lawsuit filed last month by Chief Afe Babalola (SAN), who alleged defamation in the same book.

Farotimi, currently in custody of the Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS), has yet to respond to the latest claims.
