Dele Farotimi, lawyer and human rights activist has been granted N50 million bail by a Federal High Court sitting in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State.
The court’s decision was disclosed by the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress in the 2023 election, Omoyele Sowore, via his X handle on Monday.
“The first hurdle was crossed. #DeleFarotimi was granted bail of N50 million surety in the like sum with someone with landed property. The case was adjourned to January 29, 2025,” the tweet read.
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.
