JUST IN: Court Grants Dele Farotimi N30m Bail, Restricts Media Engagement
A magistrates’ court in Ado-Ekiti, the capital of Ekiti State, has granted bail to lawyer and human rights activist Dele Farotimi in the sum of N30 million.
At the hearing on Friday, Magistrate Abayomi Adeosun approved Farotimi’s bail application under specific conditions. These include providing two responsible sureties, surrendering his international passport, and refraining from granting media interviews while the case is ongoing.
Farotimi was arraigned by the Ekiti State Police Command following a petition by elder statesman and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Afe Babalola. The petition alleged that Farotimi criminally defamed Babalola in his recently published book.
