Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has condemned the 2023 Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, over his visit to legal luminary, Aare Afe Babalola SAN.
VAM News reports that Obi visited Babalola on Monday, where he reportedly begged the SAN to forgive human rights lawyer Dele Farotimi.
Farotimi was arrested in Lagos on Tuesday and was arraigned before a magistrate court in Ado-Ekiti on Wednesday on a 16-count charge of defamation of character against Afe Babalola.
On Friday, December 6, 2024, the Nigerian police filed fresh cybercrime charges against Farotimi at the Federal High Court in Ekiti.
The Federal High Court on Monday, December 9, granted Farotimi N50 million bail.
Reacting to the visit on his X handle on Monday night, Sowore wrote “I condemn those who went to ‘beg’ Chief Afe Babalola today over unjust detention and persecution of DeleFarotimi. The delegation led by PeterObi did colossal injustice to the struggle to drain the swamp of judicial criminality in our country.
“Obi’s action is like forcing Rosa Parks to return to the back of the bus of racial injustice during the civil rights era in the United States! The struggle continues!FreeDeleFarotimiNow.”
