The petition accused Farotimi of criminal defamation and professional misconduct based on claims in his book, Nigeria and the Criminal Justice System.
The petition, submitted by Emmanuel Chambers lawyer Mr. Ola Faro, alleged that Farotimi’s book contained defamatory statements against the Supreme Court and the legal profession.
Specific references were made to suit SC/146/2006, involving Major Muritala Gbadamosi Eletu and HRH Oba Tijani Akinloye, where Farotimi reportedly accused judicial officers and the legal community of corruption, bribery, and unethical practices.
The Chambers also argued that Farotimi’s publication distorted case facts, disrespected colleagues, and undermined the justice system.
The firm claimed the book breached sections of the 2023 Rules of Professional Conduct for Legal Practitioners, warranting his disbarment.
LPDC Chairman, Justice Isaq Usman Bello, ruled on Tuesday in Abuja that the petition fell outside the committee’s jurisdiction.
The LPDC clarified that its mandate does not cover complaints about intellectual property, such as publications, but rather conduct or actions directly related to legal practice.
The LPDC stated, “The publication is an intellectual property and not a conduct or action committed while practicing as a Legal Practitioner. All aggrieved parties who find the publication ‘defamatory’ should ventilate their grievances through the regular courts.”UPDATES: SEE HOW GUYS ARE USING LATEST iPHONE 16 Pro Max TO SCAN LADIES AND GET THEIR N4KED BODY.
