By Miracle Ogunde

The embattled human rights lawyer, Dele Farotimi has been granted N50million bail by the Federal High Court in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State.

In his ruling on Monday, Justice Babs O. Kuewumi, ruled that Farotimi be released on bail with conditions that included a N50million surety and a guarantor possessing a landed property of equivalent value.

The case, with suit number FHC/AD/CR/104/2024, was filed by the Inspector-General of Police, alleging cybercrime activities linked to Farotimi.

However, Justice Kuewumi adjourned the case to January 29, 2025, for further proceedings.

Last Friday, the Nigerian police filed fresh charges against Farotimi, before the Federal High Court In Ado-Ekiti, over allegations of cybercrime.
