Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

A Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja barred human rights activist and lawyer Dele Farotimi from further publishing, selling, circulating, advertising, or distributing hard or soft copies of his book, ‘Nigeria and Its Criminal Justice System’, during its sitting on Wednesday.

Similarly, an order was issued by an Oyo State High Court, which also granted an interim order restraining Farotimi or any person acting through him from further printing the controversial book.

During the sitting in Abuja, Justice Peter Kekemeke heard an ex parte application filed by the Managing Partner at Afe Babalola’s law firm, Kehinde Ogunwumiju (SAN), praying for the seizure of the controversial book.

In granting Ogunwumiju’s prayers, the judge barred “the agents, publishers, distributors, sellers, re-publishers, re-sellers, or any other person from further publishing, selling, circulating, advertising, or distributing the physical/hard/digital/soft copies of the book online, electronically, physically or by any other means, including the social media.”

The judge also granted an order of interim injunction “directing the seizure of all physical copies of the book, wherever the Nigeria Police Force may find them, the State Security Service, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, and all other security agencies.”
