A human rights advocate, Dele Farotimi, has been released from the correctional centre in Ekiti State after meeting his bail conditions.
His arrest followed a petition written to the police by Babalola who accused him of defaming him in his recently published book ‘Nigeria And Its Criminal Justice System.”
Farotimi was released on Tuesday morning.
Last week Friday, at a magistrate court in Ado-Ekiti, the state granted Farotimi bail conditions, including a N30 million bond, 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.
However, addressing media personnel after his release, Farotimi said he had never had any course to lie against anyone in his life, adding that whatever he had said about someone or an institution is true.
Popular social activist Omoyele Sowore broke the news of Farotimi’s release: He wrote on his X handle: “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,” Sowore wrote on his X handle today.
“The struggle continues! Happy holidays to you all!”
