Peter Obi, the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, has pledged to fulfill the bail conditions for human rights lawyer Dele Farotimi. Farotimi was granted bail by an Ekiti Magistrate Court on charges of defamation involving Afe Babalola.
The bail conditions include a N30 million bond, two sureties (one of whom must own a house), surrendering his passport, and refraining from granting media interviews.
Tanko Yunusa, a former spokesperson for Obi’s 2023 presidential campaign, made the announcement via Obi’s official X account.
Yunusa explained that Obi, a strong advocate of the rule of law, wanted the issue resolved in a manner that respects legal processes and benefits all involved. He also expressed Obi’s gratitude to those involved and emphasized that the situation should be resolved in the best interest of all parties and the legal system.
