Embattled activist lawyer, Dele Farotimi has regained his freedom after meeting his bail conditions.
Activist politician, Omoyele Sowore disclosed that Farotimi is returning to his home in Lagos.
“I am pleased to report that Dele Farotimi is no longer being held at the prison yards in Ekiti state and is now returning home to Lagos. The struggle continues!” Sowore posted on X.
A few days ago, a Chief Magistrate Court in Ado Ekiti had granted Farotimi N30 million bail.
The conditions for the bail stipulated that Farotimi must provide two sureties who are recognised as responsible citizens. Also, he was required to surrender his international passport to the court.
The accusations against Farotimi stem from a book he authored, titled “Nigeria and its Criminal Justice System,” in which he is alleged to have “criminally defamed” senior advocate of Nigeria, Afe Babalola.
