The police in Ekiti have announced a ban on ‘illegal’ gatherings and protests in the state. The ban comes a few days to the planned protest, on Tuesday, by activists to demand the release of human rights lawyer Dele Farotimi who is being tried by the police at an Ado-Ekiti Chief Magistrate Court.

Mr Farotimi is accused of defaming a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Afe Babalola. He is accused of authoring and publishing a book titled: “Nigeria and its Criminal Justice System,” which alleged that Mr Babalola corrupted the Supreme Court to procure a fraudulent judgement in the service of his clients. The magistrate court ordered his remand in prison while his trial continues next Tuesday.

In response to the trial, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) in the 2023 general election, Omoyele Sowore, is calling for protests in Lagos, Abuja and Ado Ekiti on Tuesday, 10 December, the same day the court slated for the hearing of bail application filed by Mr Farotimi’s legal team.

Police order
A statement from the Ekiti police spokesman, Abutu Sunday, a deputy superintendent of police, said to ensure a peaceful atmosphere and ensure the safety of lives and property of all and sundry, the police have banned any form of protest in the state.

The statement reads in part: “Any form of unlawful gathering, demonstration or protest is unacceptable as intelligence report available has it that some unscrupulous individuals have planned to hide under this protest to hijack it and unleash mayhem and create apprehension in the state.

Ok

Ok

Interesting

When you peddle fake news around or defame and tarnish someone image and reputation wrongly, whatever your eye see make you collect am like that.

Stay away from spreading fake news
Stop defamation of someone reputation

Whatever that's happening to dele right now, he brought it upon himself

There are better civilized ways of getting justice for yourself but sorry to say Defamation is not one of them.

Police dey always fall my hand.

You don’t need to ban it. Just allow them to come and round them all up for constituting nuisance and obstructing justice.

Sowore just using people children to justify his foreign donation so he will always protest for anything.

Government and police, always afraid of their own shadows. Remove the gun and their bomb. They won't be able to sleep on their beds well at night because of the evil they have done against the people.

This again has proven that the Police is never neutral on matters involving the rich and the rest of us.

This is sad!

Truth is said to be bitter and painful.

The Nigeria judiciary system is so corrupt …now we see corruption fighting back.

Yoruba people online are even encouraging arrest of protesters..

They very tribe that killed the judiciary knows themselves..

Gos bless Nigeria

Will this make you happy enough to go look for a job ?

You can’t hide under activism to damage another person’s reputation. Where was Sowore when Dele was publishing unsubstantial and damaging information about Afe Babalola in his book? Where your right ends, is where another person’s rights begin.
