Popular Human Rights Activist, Dele Farotimi, has been sent to Prision, less than 24 Hours after his arrest.
Farotimi was arrested in Lagos and whisked to Ekiti State for an allegation of defamation following a petition written against him by Aare Afe Babalola, a renowned Legal Luminary and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN.
Babalola had accused Farotimi of defaming him in a video he shared about corruption in the Judiciary.
While giving update about the issue on Twitter, Omoyele Sowore, Publisher of Sahara Reporter, confirmed that Farotimi has been sent to prison.
“The Nigerian justice system is whack, as expected @DeleFarotimi has been hurriedly prosecuted and sent to prison after being denied bail by a judge in Ado Ekiti pre-arranged to do the same. The @policeng, Chief Afe Babalola, SAN, and the judicial officers had it all planned out even before they sent the goons from Ekiti state command RRS (formerly SARS) to abduct him. The case adjourned till December 10, 2024. #RevolutionNow, I mean it. Nigeria is overdue for a REVOLUTION!”
It would be recalled that the Nigeria Bar Association, NBA, had called for the immediate release of Farotimi who has now been sent to Prison.
