Few days after a Chief Magistrate Court in Ado Ekiti granted him N30 million bail, the embattled human rights lawyer, Dele Farotimi has been freed after fulfilling his bail conditions.
Human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore made this known on his X platform, saying Farotimi was no longer at the prison yard in Ekiti State.
He wrote: “I am pleased to report that Dele Farotimi is no longer being held at the prison yard in Ekiti state and is now returning home to Lagos. The struggle continues!”
Confirming his release, another lawyer and activist, Chii Odinakalu also wrote on X, “In Ekiti, @DeleFarotimi has perfected bail & regained his freedom. He’ll be on his way back to Lagos. To all the friends of Justice who have been vigilant through this, we say please remain vigilant. It is not the end nor the beginning of the end. This is an #AttritionMarathon.”
The development comes after former Anambra State governor and politician, Peter Obi, last week, promised to help meet Farotimi’s bail conditions.
