The Magistrate Court in Ekiti has granted bail to activist and lawyer, Dele Farotimi, under stringent conditions.

The court’s decision requires Farotimi to meet a ₦30 million bond, provide two sureties (one of whom must be a property owner in Ado Ekiti), and surrender his international passport. Additionally, Farotimi is barred from granting media interviews while the case is ongoing.

This ruling marks a significant development in the legal proceedings, as the court balances the need for judicial oversight with the defendant’s rights. The court’s conditions, particularly the restriction on media engagement, are seen as a measure to ensure the integrity of the trial process.

Farotimi’s legal team has expressed readiness to comply with the bail conditions, affirming their commitment to due process and the rule of law.

As the case unfolds, all eyes remain on Ekiti’s judicial system to ensure a fair trial, while Farotimi’s supporters await further developments in what has become a closely watched legal battle.
