A human rights advocate, Dele Farotimi, has been released from the correctional centre in Ekiti State after meeting his bail conditions.
Farotimi was released on Tuesday morning.
Last week Friday, at a magistrate court in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital, granted Farotimi bail conditions, including a ₦30 million bond, two sureties, one of whom must be a property owner, a submission of Farotimi’s passport and a prohibition of Farotimi granting media interviews once released.
According to The PUNCH, Farotimi said he had never had any course to lie against anyone in his life, adding that whatever he had said about someone or an institution was true. He made this statement while addressing media personnel after his release.
“It is not ever an easy journey when you are fighting evil, but some years back, before I started this work, God told me that the truth is enough. It is the only weapon with which you can slay the monster called Nigeria, which is the truth. In my war against the evil empire that we all lived in, I have never lied against anyone. If I don’t know, I will say I don’t know,” he said.
Recall, on July 2, Farotimi released a book titled “Nigeria and Its Criminal Justice System.”
