Activist lawyer Dele Farotimi, who was released from custody after meeting his bail conditions, addressed his supporters, reaffirming his integrity and dedication to truth in his advocacy work.

“In my public advocacy, I have never lied against anyone. If I don’t know something, I will simply say I don’t know,” Farotimi said upon his release. He emphasized that truth remains the most effective tool for achieving meaningful change in Nigeria.

Farotimi who was arrested by the police 21 days ago, is being prosecuted for an alleged criminal defamation of legal luminary Chief Afe Babalola, SAN.

His arrest followed a petition  written to the police by Babalola who accused him of defaming him in his recently published book ‘Nigeria And Its Criminal Justice System.”

But on December 20, the court granted Farotimi  bail in the sum of N30 million with two sureties (one of whom must own a house). He was also ordered to surrender his Nigerian passport and banned from granting any media interview.
