Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), has threatened legal action against former military Head of State, Ibrahim Babangida, following revelations in his newly released book, ‘A Journey in Service: An Autobiography.’
In the book, Babangida revealed that the annulled election of June 12 1993, was won by the late Moshood Abiola.
Reacting, Falana, who was jailed at the time for protesting against the annulment, accused Babangida of malicious prosecution.
This was as he revealed that he was setting up a legal team to look into the past actions of the former military leader.
“I’ve assembled a team of lawyers, they’re looking into it,” Falana said when he appeared on Channels Television on Tuesday night.“
He [Babangida] has now admitted there was no basis for my prosecution because he now says Abiola won the election, which was the basis for our protest. It was malicious.” (Guardian)
