BREAKING: Ekiti Magistrate Court Claims Ruling On Dele Farotimi’s Bail Application Missing, Left At Home


The court is slated to give its ruling on the bail application filed by Farotimi today (Friday morning).

The Ekiti State Magistrate Court in Ado-Ekiti on Friday morning shockingly claimed that its ruling on the bail application filed by human rights lawyer, Dele Farotimi is missing.

The court is slated to give its ruling on the bail application filed by Farotimi today (Friday morning).

However, SaharaReporters gathered that the sitting magistrate claimed that he could not find his ruling and adjourned the hearing again for a short period.

“The magistrate said his ruling note is missing and for this he's taken a break,” a source inside the court sitting told SaharaReporters.

“The Kangaroo magistrate expressed embarrassment for appearing in court without the ruling on @DeleFarotimi's bail application, claiming it had been left at home, a truly astonishing turn of events today! #FreeDeleFarotimiNow,” prominent human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore also tweeted.

Sowore had earlier said the magistrate received a call while delivering the ruling which made him stop.

Sowore said: “The Kangaroo magistrate, while delivering the ruling on the applications regarding the eligibility of a Senior Advocate of Nigeria to appear before a magistrate court and @DeleFarotimi’s bail, received a phone call notification and promptly adjourned to his chambers to answer it.

#FreeDeleFatotimiNOW.”
Farotimi was arrested following a petition by a legal luminary, Chief Afe Babalola (SAN).

SaharaReporters learned that the trial court pronounced this ruling to grant Farotimi’s bail application on Friday morning. This comes barely after the same court initially denied the human rights lawyer constitutional freedom.

The charge suit no: MAD/1,476.C/2024, pits the Ekiti State Commissioner of Police as the complainant against Farotimi as the defendant. Some of the charges read, "That you Dele Farotimi 'm' sometimes in 2024 authored, published and circulated your book titled:

"Nigeria and its Criminal Justice System" which was received and read all over the world including Ado-Ekiti within the Ado-Ekiti Magisterial District wherein you stated at page IX of the book: "That Aare Afe Babalola corrupted the Supreme Court to procure a fraudulent judgment in the service of his clients" which is likely to cause fear and alarm to the public or disturb the public peace knowing or having reason to believe that the Statements is false and thereby committed an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 59(1) of Criminal Code Act.

"That you Dele Farotimi 'm' sometimes in 2024 authored, published and circulated your book titled: "Nigeria and its Criminal Justice System" which was received and read all over the world including Ado-Ekiti within the Ado-Ekiti
Magisterial District wherein you stated at page
X: "That Aare Afe Babalola, Olu Daramola, Olu Faro and the law offices of Afe Babalola & Co, (Emmanuel Chambers) compromised the Supreme Court and the remaining semblance of integrity it might have had when they went back to the Supreme Court and got that Court to swim in the sewer of corruption and shameful self-abnegation which is likely to cause fear and alarm to the public or disturb the public peace knowing or having reason to believe that the Statements is false and thereby committed an offence.”

This is funny

Somebody was arrested for exposing the corrupt Nigeria Judiciary and Judges and same man file is missing within the Judiciary block. Can we then say the man has been vindicated?

I thought he has been granted bail of 30 million naira by same magistrate and PO promised to fulfil the bail conditions

This can only happen in a ...............

Stay out of trouble by any means possible

Nairaland and old news is like 5 & 6

Sahara Reporters with their propaganda

This is serious.

This is Nigeria…. You kids should learn how to stay away from trouble…

This confirms that Dele might spend a lot of time in prison like a common criminal….

Or he might never get out of prison for life ….

You can’t win every fight…. VDM Should take a cue from what’s playing RIGHT NOW

This just proved Dele's book right.
Now you can see how corrupt this people are.

All this lawyer and judges should have in mind that what goes around comes around just a matter of time ... they should keep on messing this con3 one day if they didn't pay for it their children will

Hmmmmmm

This country should be on Netflix 😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣

Lmaooo

We told you that Obidients are cursed with bad luck.

....... I pray for this man's safety outside of jail, the powerful forces he offended can finish him easily outside than inside jail !!!

Chai! What idiocy and lawlessness. Why is this nation this an expensive jokes? Meanwhile, there seems to be something unusual about this Dele's ordeal. The man is unusually calm and given that he is a lawyer himself.

You’re a lawyer
File to a higher court
Invoke improper jurisdiction
Don’t let a magistrate court use you and see yeye

The criminal justice system they talked about.

If you still have hope in this country then you are lost forever.

Wahala!

Where you want him to file, himself said the Judges are corrupt
