An Ado-Ekiti Magistrate Court, Tuesday, denied bail to human rights lawyer and activist, Dele Farotimi, in the ongoing legal tussle between him and legal icon, Afe Babalola.
Farotimi is standing trial for allegedly defaming Afe Babalola, the founder of Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti, in his best selling book.
At Tuesday’s hearing, the Presiding magistrate, Abayomi Adeosun, postponed the decision on the activist’s bail application to December 20.
The bail denial occurred after the police counsel, Samson Osobu, had argued that the bail application submitted by the defendant was incomplete and not properly filed.
