A court in Ado-Ekiti has sent back embattled human rights lawyer, Mr Dele Farotimi to jail.
This comes after his bail application was on Tuesday adjourned till December 20, 2024.
Omoyele Sowore, former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, confirmed this in a post on his X handle on Tuesday.
“The ruling on @delefarotimi’s bail application was today adjourned till December 20.
“Dele Farotimi has been sent back to prison for the next 10 days. See what begging has done? #FreeDeleFarotimiNow.”
The lawyer and human rights activist had appeared before the Chief Magistrate Court in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, on Tuesday, for a bail hearing.
Farotimi, who arrived at the court in a police security van at approximately 10:00 am, was accompanied by officials from the correctional centre.
