Embattled activist lawyer Dele Farotimi has regained his freedom after meeting his bail conditions.
Disclosing this, activist politician Omoyele Sowore said Farotimi is returning to his home in Lagos.
Posting on X, Sowore noted that the embattled activist lawyer was no longer at the prison yards in Ekiti State.
Accompanying the update is the viral video in which Farotimi is spotted thanking his Nigerians for their doggedness in ensuring his release and reiterating the fact that he never lied in his book.
He wrote, “I am pleased to report that Dele Farotimi is no longer being held at the prison yards in Ekiti State and is now returning home to Lagos. The struggle continues!”
Some days ago, a Chief Magistrate Court in Ado Ekiti had granted Farotimi N30 million bail.
It was reported that the lawyer was arrested earlier in the month for allegedly defaming Afe Babalola, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and founder of Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti, ABUAD.
Farotimi, who was remanded in a correctional centre in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, arrived at the Magistrate Court premises around 9:45 am on Friday amid heavy security presence.
