    The Magistrate Court in Ado-Ekiti has denied bail to human rights activist Dele Farotimi, who is facing charges for allegedly defaming Aare Afe Babalola, founder of Afe Babalola University.

    Farotimi arrived at the court premises at approximately 9:49 AM on Tuesday, December 10, escorted by operatives of the Rapid Response Squad and the Nigeria Police Force.

    In his ruling, Presiding Magistrate Abayomi Adeosun adjourned the bail application to December 20.

    This decision was made after Samson Osobu, counsel to the police, successfully argued that the defendant’s bail application was incompetent and irregular.

    The case has sparked significant interest, with many following the developments closely. The defamation allegations against Farotimi stem from statements made against Aare Afe Babalola, a prominent figure in the educational sector.

    The court’s decision means Farotimi will remain in custody until the next hearing on December 20.
