Babalola who had previously sued Farotimi in an Ado Ekiti Magistrates’ Court following Farotimi’s publication of a book titled “Nigeria and its criminal justice system” which allegedly defamed him.

Oba Adeyeye said during the meeting that “Yoruba leaders and the traditional institution had been following the development keenly.”

The traditional ruler said that he and others resolved to intervene so that Babalola, “can pardon his son, Farotimi.”

He commended the legal icon for building his integrity over the years and urged him not to relent following the development.

In his response, Babalola said he had received several letters as well as calls on the issue from eminent Nigerians asking him to withdraw the suit.

They included former President Olusegun Obasanjo and Bishop Hassan Kukah

The legal luminary said he had no choice than to succumb to the latest plea’s by the visiting traditional rulers.

He stressed that he had nothing to gain in Farotimi being jailed.

The meeting ended at about midnight.
