BREAKING: Nigerian Activist Dele Farotimi Sent To Prison 24 Hours After Arrest

Published

on

Human rights activist Dele Farotimi has been incarcerated following his arrest in Lagos yesterday.

Farotimi was apprehended and quickly transferred to Ekiti State over allegations of defamation, based on a petition filed by Aare Afe Babalola, SAN.

Babalola accused Farotimi of defaming him in a video that criticized corruption within the judiciary.

Omoyele Sowore later provided an update on Twitter, confirming that Farotimi had been swiftly prosecuted and imprisoned after being denied bail by a judge in Ado Ekiti, who was allegedly pre-arranged to handle the case in this manner.

Sowore expressed his dissatisfaction with the situation, stating, “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.”

He further criticized the coordinated effort, claiming, “The Nigerian Police, 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 is now adjourned until December 10, 2024. Sowore concluded by emphasizing his frustration, calling for significant change: “#RevolutionNow, I mean it. Nigeria is overdue for a REVOLUTION!”
