The joy of Human Rights Activist and Lawyer, Dele Farotimi to enjoy freedom through bail has been cut short.
A Magistrate Court sitting in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State has denied him bail.
Farotimi was arraigned in Court for alleged defamation of the founder of Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti (ABUAD), Aare Afe Babalola.
In his ruling, at the resumed sitting on Tuesday, the presiding Magistrate, Abayomi Adeosun, adjourned the application of bail to December 20 after the counsel to the Police, Samson Osobu, proved that the bail application submitted by the defendant was incompetent and irregular.
It would be recalled that the Federal High Court sitting in Ekiti, on Monday, granted Farotimi Bail in the tune of N50 million with the two sureties in like sum.
