Court Denies Farotimi Bail, Postpones Case To December 20

The magistrate court in Ado-Ekiti has rejected the bail application of human rights activist Dele Farotimi.

Farotimi was arraigned in court for allegedly defamation of the founder of Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti (ABUAD), Aare Afe Babalola.

In his ruling, at the resumed sitting on Tuesday, the presiding magistrate, Abayomi Adeosun, adjourned the application of bail to December 20 after the counsel to the police, Samson Osobu, proved that the bail application submitted by the defendant was incompetent and irregular.
