In a recent interview with radio talk show host Daddy Freeze, Babalola revealed notable cases, including one where he received $30 million for assisting the government in recovering $300 million from banks.
During the conversation, Babalola also mentioned an appeal case in the 80s, where he charged Mobile $5 million.

The company acknowledged their mistake and sought his legal expertise, agreeing to his initial fee. Babalola not only received the fee but also secured a favorable outcome for Mobile, cementing a lasting client relationship.
Another intriguing case involved a deal with the government, where Babalola negotiated a 10% commission for recovering $300 million from a syndicate of banks embroiled in a legal battle with the government.
Babalola’s revelations shed light on the complexities and successes in his legal career, demonstrating the value of his services in high-stakes legal matters.
