• Says ‘My battle axes are newly sharpened, my guns primed’
Human rights activist, Dele Farotimi, on Sunday hinted that the on-going face-off between him and the legal luminary, Chief Afe Babalola, SAN, has just started.
Posting on X, the activist lawyer said he stood by his allegations against the respected silk and ready to face his ongoing trial and run it to the end.
He said contrary to what many people might be thinking, “My battle axes are newly sharpened, my guns primed, I am ready to war.
“My resolve was NEVER tested, but I was waiting for next round of the fight to commence.
“I KNEW that the first round had been lost by those responsible for my imprisonment.”
Farotimi’s latest pronouncement appears to have foreclosed out-of-court settlement or other Alternative Dispute Resolution mechanisms.
It would be recalled that a few days ago, a Chief Magistrate Court in Ado Ekiti had granted Farotimi N30 million bail.
Farotimi was arrested for allegedly defaming Afe Babalola, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and founder of Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti, ABUAD.
