[emmanuelikhide]

As a presenter, you shouldn't call someone a miscreant.

[FofXequalsYnot]

Don’t try to diminish d criminality of dele farotimi’s ABDUCTION as an arrest…please😔

[iyke]

No Sir, Dele Farotimi was arrested by the APC Govt, Afe Babalola is just a

[kolawoletony]

I'm a fan of Dele Farotimi. Nobody is saying Afe Babalola shouldn't press charges, but 'kidnapping' him to Ekiti when the alleged offense happened in Lagos is what people disagree with. Police harassment is what people are protesting against.

The recent judgment from the Supreme Court in Abalaka v. Akinsete1 offers a
fascinating insight into the evolving jurisprudence of defamation law in Nigeria,
particularly concerning the presumption of falsity. In this case, the Supreme Court
solidified the shift from the longstanding presumption that once a publication is shown
to be defamatory, it is presumed false unless the defendant proves its truth. By the
decision of the Court, A claimant is now required to not only establish that the
publication is defamatory but to also prove its falsity. This development not only has
significant implications for Nigerian jurisprudence but also contributes to the global
discourse on balancing freedom of expression with the protection of individual
reputation.

Get these two out of TV please, Arise. These guys are undermining the stellar perception some of us hold about Arise TV. Or subject them to more training or something.

This presentation is just poor to say the least. Name calling, tainted viewpoints, lack of understanding of the law, and just folks trying to advance their biased thoughts because they have a platform provided to them.

[Ikeperiod]

Sister he won’t agree with you because people from that part of that country have the tendency to support their oppressors except very few.

[tmdydan]

Please all Mr Farotimi associates should check on him in the prison to ensure that he is not being abused and tortured. Please ensure his safety because the Nigerian police brutality is known all over the world.

[vonapochi]

I am disappoited in Steve for his lack of balance and his obvious support for oppression. It will get to his turn soon. Shame!

[bidemiolawore]

Do people think dele farotimi being a lawyer would pour out such a claims without evidence to back it up?

[jacquelyneyawa]

Please, can you be professional as a journalist? Is this an opinion show? You called someone an unacceptable word. Sad what journalism is now; the female presenter stepped beyond where she should have gone with name calling.

[gbengaodugbemi]

17:51 This guy, stop arguing with someone who’s a lawyer on what party has the burden of proof in a criminal case. It has always been the government, not the accused person. The lady is trying to correct you, and you still keep going around to that wrong position of the law. Na wa o.

[gbengaodugbemi]

Miscreant?? How’s VDM a miscreant?? He has done more for the society than you young lady. What gives people the audacity to talk to tag others like this?? On a national television. Arise should sanction her for calling VDM a miscreant. Very uncultured, eww.

[emudiarepaul]

You called someone a miscreant, foolish you

[mosesmartins]

Steve you're economical to the truth concerning DF . Babalola is a corrupt man

[anthonyuremeh]

Did she just call VDM an "online miscreant"?

[adedayofatoki]

What is wrong with this lady? She called VDM online miscreant? Who made this one a lawyer ??

[AbayomiOgun]

Calling VDM a miscreant is appalling. This goes to Adesua, how much impact have you made in the life of average Nigerians this year, then compare your results with those of VDM
