Ado Ekiti Magistrate Court granted bail to Dele Farotimi on the following conditions:
1. ₦30 million bond
2. Two sureties (one of whom must be a property owner), submission of his passport, and
3. A prohibition on granting media interviews.
Dele Farotimi’s bail was also confirmed by human rights activist and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, on his X handle on Friday.
Recall that a petition filed by a prominent lawyer and Senior Advocate in Nigeria, Chief Afe Babalola (SAN), prompted Farotimi’s arrest.
He was remanded in prison custody on December 7, 2024, after being arrested on 16 counts of criminal defamation, following the publication of his book, Nigeria and Its Criminal Justice System.
