Dele Farotimi to remain in prison as court reserves hearing for his bail application for December 20

The magistrate court sitting in Ado-Ekiti has denied human rights activist, Dele Farotimi, bail. 

Farotimi was last week arraigned before the court for allegedly defamation of the founder of Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti (ABUAD), Aare Afe Babalola.

Delivering ruling in the bail application today December 10, the presiding magistrate, Abayomi Adeosun, adjourned the application of bail to December 20 after the counsel to the police, Samson Osobu, proved that the bail application submitted by the defendant was incompetent and irregular.
