BREAKING: Dele Farotimi Arrives Ekiti Magistrate Court Over Defamation Case
Human Rights Lawyer and Activist, Dele Farotimi, has arrived the Magistrate Court in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti state for his trial on criminal defamation instituted against him by Chief Afe Babalola SAN.
Farotimi was brought to the court from the Ado-Ekiti Correctional Centre by its officials where he had been remanded last week following his arraignment.
The human right lawyer, who was decked in black T-shirt and blue jeans, arrived the court at about 9:55am on Tuesday morning.
Farotimi is facing criminal defamation charges in Court which stems from the allegations in his book entitled “Nigeria and its Criminal Justice System” that accused Babalola of corrupting judges of the Supreme Court.
Babalola had considered aspects of the 104-page book solely authored by the human rights activist as defaming him and instituted a legal action against Farotimi.
