  Court Grants Dele Farotimi N50 Million Bail, Afe Babalola Accuses Him of Defamation


Human rights lawyer Dele Farotimi has been granted bail by the Ekiti State High Court.

The court set his bail at N50 million, requiring a surety of the same amount. The surety must own a landed property. The case has been adjourned to January 29, 2025, for further proceedings.


Farotimi was brought to court by Chief Afe Babalola, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, following his arrest by the Ekiti State Police Command. Babalola, 95, accused Farotimi of defaming him in his book Nigeria and Its Criminal Justice System.


The arrest has sparked widespread outrage across the country, with civil society organizations and the Nigerian Bar Association demanding Farotimi’s release.
