Afe Babalola: Court grants Dele Farotimi bail, barred from media interviews
Embattled human rights lawyer, Dele Farotimi, has been granted bail in the sum of ₦30 million.
A magistrate court in Ekiti State granted him bail on Friday about two weeks after he was remanded in prison custody.
He was remanded on December 7, 2024, after he was arraigned in court on 16 counts of criminal defamation, following the publication of his book, ‘Nigeria and Its Criminal Justice System’.
Farotimi arrived at the Magistrate Court with heavy security comprising policemen and other law enforcement agents.
Apart from the N30 million, the Magistrate, Abayomi Adeosun, ordered him to provide three sureties with a landed property within the court’s jurisdiction; submit his international passport to the court as well as refrain from granting media interviews.
The case was adjourned to February 13, 2025.
