Popular human right activist, Dele Farotimi has been sent to prison following his arrest yesterday in Lagos.
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, SAN.
Aare Afe Babalola had accused Dele Farotimi of defaming him in a video he shared about corruption in the judiciary.
While giving update about the issue on Twitter, Omoyele Sowore confirmed that Dele 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.
According to Sowore, “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 adjourned till December 10, 2024. #RevolutionNow, I mean it. Nigeria is overdue for a REVOLUTION! “
