According to a video that was posted on the official X account of News Central Tv on Sunday from 0.45., political analyst, Hassan Taiwo has stated that the Ekiti State Magistrate Court that granted bail to human rights activist, Dele Farotimi doesn’t even have the jurisdiction over his case.
He made the statement after the court granted N30M bail to Dele Farotimi, told him to provide two sureties and also restricted him from granting any public interview.
Reacting to the judgement, Taiwo described it as terrible. He said criminal defamation is not even in the laws in Ekiti state. He said the court tried Dele Farotimi for crime that doesn’t exist.
According to Hassan Taiwo;
“The magistrate court that just granted him [Dele Farotimi] this very terrible bail does not even have the jurisdiction over his case. Criminal defamation is not even in the laws in Ekiti. This is a court that is trying someone over a non-existent crime”.
