In another tweet, Sowore noted that Farotimi’s trial would continue tomorrow (Tuesday) at the Magistrate Court in the state capital, “over a non-existent offence in Ekiti law books.”
“We’ve asked the Attorney-General of Ekiti State to discontinue the trial immediately,” Sowore added.
This is coming as part of the ongoing court tussle between the lawyer and Afe-Babalola of Emmanuel chambers.
