Afe Babalola: ‘I Am Ready For War….’ – Dele Farotimi Boasts

Embattled human rights activist, Dele Farotimi, has stated that he remains undaunted in the face of his ongoing defamation trial.

The Publisher Nigeria  reports that a few weeks ago, a Chief Magistrate Court in Ado Ekiti had granted Farotimi ₦30 million bail.

The lawyer was arrested for allegedly defaming Afe Babalola, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and founder of Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti, ABUAD.

Farotimi was subsequently freed after meeting his bail conditions.

Speaking via a post on his X account on Sunday, Farotimi said his battle axes had been sharpened, his guns primed, and he is ready for war.

He boasted that he was strong enough to confront principalities and powers but also human enough to express gratitude to God for the efforts of those who helped him through his predicament.

He wrote, “I am strong enough to rumble unruffled against principalities and powers, but I am human enough to retain the capacity to shed tears of joy in appreciation of the grace of God, expressed in the concerted efforts of fellow victims.

“My battle axes are newly sharpened, my guns primed, I am ready to war.

“My resolve was NEVER tested, but I was waiting for next round of the fight to commence.

“I KNEW that the first round had been lost by those responsible for my imprisonment.”
