The order for the seizure of proceeds of Farotimi’s controversial book came shortly after it was announced as the number one best seller in global politics for international tech and retail giant, Amazon, on Thursday, December 5, 2024
Farotimi’s book indicated how Babalola allegedly manipulated the judiciary to get favourable judgments for his clients.
This led Babalola to file a petition to the Ekiti State Police, who travelled to Lagos to arrest Farotimi and transfer him to Ekiti, where he was detained for several days and later sent to court, where his bail condition was adjourned to December 20.
Meanwhile, Nigerians have reacted to the plans of Babalola to stop distribution of Farotimi’s book
