Afe Babalola vs Dele Farotimi – my last word

 

Let me just make my last comment on this thing and then keep quiet and watch and not say anything again till the end of the case

Having watched very closely and read all the analysis, i have come to this conclusion.

I think Afe’s people being extremely brilliant lawyers have missed the point.

Dele also being an extremly brilliant albiet inexperienced lawyer, is a an extremely brilliant activist.

I think he has fooled his opponents to think he was going for a trial in a court of law while he is actually going for a trial in the court of public opinion where legacy is the main subject on trial.

Even a village drunk knows that those kinds of heavy allegations as mentioned in his book without concrete evidence is professional suicide.

He not only put it there. But went ahead to strengthen the accusations in the media without citing an iota of evidence.

I have looked at the maximum penalty. 3years and or fine including a possible disbarement.

This is a simple or very little punishment if he succeeds in tarring the larger than life image of a major symbol of institutional establishment.

Its the classic Mandela scenario. His accusers charged him for terrorism, treason and violence against the state but in his defence, he talked about the inhumanity of the apartheid system and why it should be brought down.

He lost. Got a life jail but today who won. Who even remebers the name of the President of South Africa when the trial held.

I have looked at all scenarios and believe that that may be Deles push abi how can you explain the level of weighty allegations he levelled without an iota of evidence.

In all of his defence, before his arrest, he had not given us a shred of evidence but has consistently maintained that Daddy is corrupt, daddy has influenced the system wrongly et all.

Baring any unforeseen circumstances, Dele will lose this case and go to jail but at what cost to the towering legacy of one of the biggest names in Nigeria

Maybe we shd have thread carefully before the Police came from Ekiti, just may be

Nobody should come and beat me o, na analysis, i dey do
