Dele Farotimi: They want to abandon him in prison – Sowore makes fresh claim

The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, in the 2023 election and activist, Omoyele Sowore, has alleged a conspiracy among powerful elites to abandon the embattled human rights lawyer, Dele Farotimi, in prison over his defamation case with Afe Babalola, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria.

Sowore disclosed this in a statement through his X account on Friday.

He was reacting to a move by Afe Babalola’s law firm through his partner, Ola Faro, who petitioned the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee, LPDC, to expunge Farotimi’s name from the roll of legal practitioners in Nigeria.

However, Sowore said the plan is to be allegedly executed by the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, judges and other politically exposed lawyers in Nigeria.

He vowed to ensure Farotimi gets justice.

“This was the plan from the onset. It involves a conspiracy between powerful judicial caricatures, the @policeng, led by IGP Kayode Egbetokun, judges, and so-called influential politically exposed lawyers.

“The goal is to abandon @DeleFarotimi in a prison controlled by them with the help of a kangaroo magistrate court, essentially fighting him while his hands are tied behind his back.

“However, they got it all wrong! The fight will not end until justice is done,” he alleged on X.

DAILY POST reports that in a ruling on Tuesday, Farotimi was remanded in prison after his bail application was adjourned till December 20, 2024.

On December 3, 2024, Farotimi was arrested by the police over an alleged defamation in his book titled ‘Nigeria and its Criminal Justice System’.
