    Dele Farotimi Regains Freedom After Meeting Bail Conditions

    Human rights lawyer and activist, Dele Farotimi has regained freedom after meeting his bail conditions.

    The development was disclosed by politician and activist, Omoyele Sowore.

    He was arrested earlier in the month for allegedly defaming Afe Babalola, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and founder of Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti, ABUAD.

    Farotimi, who was remanded in a correctional centre in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, arrived at the Magistrate Court premises around 9:45 am on Friday amid heavy security presence.

    Posting on X, Sowore said the embattled activist lawyer was no longer at the prison yards in Ekiti State.

    He wrote: “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!”

    A few days ago, a Chief Magistrate Court in Ado Ekiti had granted Farotimi N30 million bail, two sureties, one of whom must be a property owner, a submission of Farotimi’s passport and a prohibition of Farotimi granting media interviews once released.

    Confirming his release, another lawyer and activist, Chii Odinakalu also wrote on X, “In Ekiti, @DeleFarotimi has perfected bail & regained his freedom. He’ll be on his way back to Lagos. To all the friends of Justice who have been vigilant through this, we say please remain vigilant. It is not the end nor the beginning of the end. This is an #AttritionMarathon.”

    The development comes after former Anambra State governor and politician, Peter Obi, last week, promised to help meet Farotimi’s bail conditions.

    Addressing his supporters after his release, Farotimi restated his commitment to truth in his fight for justice.

    His loyalists and supporters have been protesting since his arrest and prosecution, insisting that it is an act of illegality and injustice.

    “In my public advocacy, I have never lied against anyone. If I don’t know something, I will simply say I don’t know,” he said.
