Renowned Nigerian lawyer and Senior Advocate Aare Afe Babalola disclosed some of the high legal fees he has collected from his clients, claiming that he once received $30 million for assisting the government in recouping $300 million from banks.
In a different incident, Mobil was accused of paying $5 million by the founder of Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti in Ekiti State, for an appeal case he handled for the business in the 1980s.
In a recent interview, Babalola disclosed this to Ifedayo Olarinde, popularly known as Daddy Freeze, the presenter of a radio talk show. Babalola said that when Mobile first denied his payment request, they hired a different SAN in Lagos who paid them N500,000 but lost the case.
