Nigerian lawyer and activist Dele Farotimi has been released from the correctional facility in Ekiti State after meeting the bail conditions granted him in a case where he faces criminal charges of defaming senior lawyer Afe Babalola in his book.
Mr Farotimi’s widely circulated book, Nigeria and its Criminal Justice System, accuses Mr Babalola, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and founder of the Afe Babalola University Ado Ekiti, of corrupting the Nigeria’s Supreme Court in the service of his clients.
The author also faces cybercrime charges at the Federal High Court in Ado Ekiti regarding the book.
