A magistrate court in Ado-Ekiti has granted N30 million bail to Dele Farotimi, human rights activist.
Abayomi Adeosun, the magistrate, ruled on Farotimi’s bail application on Friday.
The bail conditions include two sureties, who are responsible citizens in the society, with the defendant asked to leave his international passport with the court.
Farotimi would also not grant media interviews during the pendency of the case.
The police had accused Farotimi of “criminally defaming” Afe Babalola, a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN), in a book titled: ‘Nigeria and its Criminal Justice System’.
