The National Vice President of the Committee for Defence of Human Rights, Yinka Folarin, on Wednesday, said that human rights lawyer, Femi Falana SAN has offered to take over the case of 73-year-old man, Areola Abraham, who was seen being molested in viral video by the suspended Olorile of Orile Ifo, Oba Semiu Ogunjobi.

Folarin, in a statement on Wednesday, said Falana who is the Board of Trustees Chairman of the CDHR disclosed this when he received Abraham at his chamber in Ikeja GRA, Lagos.

The human rights activist said Falana has offered to press charges against the suspended monarch for the breach of fundamental human rights

He said, “Femi Falana, SAN, and Chairman of the Committee for the Defence for Human Rights CDHR Board of Trustees, received Elder Areola Abraham, JP, in the audience today Wednesday at his Falana & Falana’s Chamber at Adekunle Fajuyi, GRA, Ikeja.

“Falana got briefed on the case and has taken it up, with plans to sue for breach of the victim’s fundamental human rights. He assured the victim that his fundamental rights would be upheld and that the chamber would provide the necessary legal assistance.

“Comrade Soyombo Sunday, a former chairman of CDHR Ogun and a human rights investigator, was also present during the audience.”

Folarin who led Abraham to the chamber of the activist lawyer has, however, lauded Falana’s commitment to the cause of the downtrodden, the emancipation of an egalitarian society and a world where human rights are respected by all.

Meanwhile, the suspended Oba Ogunjobi was on Tuesday remanded in a correctional centre at Ilaro, Ogun State after failing to perfect his bail condition as granted by the Ifo Magistrate Court.

The State spokesman for the Nigerian Correctional Service, Yinka Odukoya, confirmed this to our correspondent on Wednesday.

Recall that the state government had equally in a statement on Monday suspended Oba Ogunjobi for six months for behaving in a way that seems to bring the highly exalted traditional seat into disrepute.
