Human rights lawyer and activist, Dele Farotimi, has been granted bail in the sum of N50 million.
The bail conditions require a surety of the same amount, with landed property as collateral.
The development was disclosed by activist Omoyele Sowore, who also revealed that the case has been adjourned to January 29, 2025.
Farotimi was arrested following a petition from well-known legal figure Afe Babalola (SAN).
Farotimi was accused of publishing false statements in his book ‘Nigeria and Its Criminal Justice System’, which is said to have tarnished Babalola’s reputation.
According to the charges, Farotimi’s book, which was widely circulated, contained damaging claims against Babalola and his law firm.
In particular, the book accused Babalola and other lawyers of influencing the Supreme Court in a corrupt manner.

Farotimi’s supporters have been actively calling for his release under the hashtag #FreeDeleFarotimiNow.
