Court Bars Dele Farotimi from Publishing Controversial Book on Nigeria’s Justice System. The High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, has issued a ban on human rights activist and lawyer Dele Farotimi from further publishing, selling, distributing, or circulating his controversial book, ‘Nigeria and Its Criminal Justice System’. The order, granted by Justice Peter Kekemeke, came after an ex-parte application filed by Kehinde Ogunwumiju, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), on behalf of the claimant, the managing partner at Afe Babalola’s law firm. Justice Kekemeke’s ruling prohibits Farotimi, as well as agents, publishers, distributors, and sellers, from distributing physical, digital, or online copies of the book. The restriction includes all forms of advertising and circulation, including on social media. The court further granted an interim injunction for the Nigerian Police Force, State Security Service, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, and other security agencies to seize all copies of the book, both physical and digital, pending the resolution of the motion for an interlocutory injunction. The relevant security agencies have been directed to file an affidavit confirming compliance with the order within 72 hours of receiving the ruling...

“As lawyers, our first duty is to seek justice for those who cannot help themselves..." An interesting read by Barr. Wendy Cynthia Okosa. Standing for Justice: The Case That Rekindled My Passion for Legal Practice. Yesterday, I had a court matter outside my usual jurisdiction. As the youngest lawyer in the room, I was almost the last to handle my case. Unfortunately, the defense counsel was absent, so the court adjourned the matter and ordered me to serve a notice of hearing. As I was wrapping up, the state counsel, who had been busy in another court, returned to address a case involving a young man in handcuffs. The man, in his late 20s, had been in prison for over a year without trial. He looked weak and could barely stand. When the judge asked what was wrong, he said he was thirsty, so the court ordered water for him. The judge then asked why he had no lawyer. The young man explained that his mother was late, and though his 71-year-old father had visited him in prison, he couldn’t reach him the day before court The man said he’d been in prison for a year and four months, and this was only his second court appearance. He was charged with housebreaking and stealing. He explained that the accusations came from his uncle, his father’s stepbrother, due to a family feud over inheritance. He claimed he was innocent, saying that if he were guilty, he’d accept his punishment, but he couldn’t bear being imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit The judge signaled to an older lawyer to take up the case, but the lawyer was preoccupied. At that moment, I felt an urge to stand up for the young man, even though I had never handled such a situation before. Seeking bail in a high court is different from a magistrate court—it requires a written application. But I couldn’t ignore the young man’s plea for help. Summoning courage, I announced my appearance for him and pleaded with the court to allow me to seek his bail orally. Although I had previously handled bail applications in magistrate court, this case felt different. I had never encountered a situation like this before, and I lacked the experience to know exactly what to do or say. It was the first time I had been thrust into such an experience since being called to the bar, with no preparation or guidance, so the process felt completely unfamiliar to me. Fortunately, the state counsel raised no objections, and the court granted him bail. However, there was no one present to act as a surety. I suggested contacting his father and requested an adjournment to allow time for the father to appear the next day. The court agreed to my suggestion. Before court adjourned, the judge called me into his chambers. He commended me, saying, “As lawyers, our first duty is to seek justice for those who cannot help themselves. I never expected this from you, but I am deeply impressed. You will go far. God bless you for standing up for him.” Read on in the comments. #Lawyering #SeekingJustice #lawyerspurpose
