The Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has promised to adhere to the terms of bail for human rights attorney Dele Farotimi.
In a slander case involving legal legend Afe Babalola, an Ekiti Magistrate Court granted Farotimi bail.
The court-imposed bail requirements, which included a N30 million bond, two sureties, one of whom had to be a property owner, the loss of his passport, and a ban on giving interviews to the media.
Tanko Yunusa, a former spokesperson for Obi’s 2023 presidential campaign, announced Obi’s decision in a statement posted on his X (formerly Twitter) account on Friday.
According to Yunusa, who is a supporter of the rule of law, Obi is dedicated to settling the case in a manner that adheres to legal procedures and fosters justice. “I consulted His Excellency, Peter Obi, as the leader of the Obidient Movement.
As someone who respects the rule of law, due process, and order, he has offered to fulfill Dele Farotimi’s bail conditions,” Yunusa said.

He also expressed gratitude to the judiciary and other relevant parties on behalf of Obi. “Resolving the issue in a way that benefits all parties and complies with our legal system is his top responsibility. He conveyed his sincere appreciation to all those involved,”
