“I am strong enough to rumble unruffled against principalities and powers, but I am human enough to retain the capacity to shed tears of joy in appreciation of the grace of God, expressed in the concerted efforts of fellow victims.
“My battle axes are newly sharpened, my guns primed, I am ready to war.
“My resolve was NEVER tested, but I was waiting for next round of the fight to commence.
“I KNEW that the first round had been lost by those responsible for my imprisonment.”
A few weeks ago, a Chief Magistrate Court in Ado Ekiti had granted Farotimi N30 million bail.
The Eastern Updates reports that the lawyer was arrested for allegedly defaming Afe Babalola, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and founder of Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti, ABUAD.
Farotimi was subsequently freed after meeting his bail conditions.
It had been previosuly reported that Activist lawyer, Dele Farotimi, on Wednesday insisted on the allegations he made against a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, Afe Babalola, in his controversial book, ‘Nigeria and its Criminal Justice System’.
Farotimi said he has never lied against anybody in his life, stressing that whatever he said about anybody is the truth.
He spoke while addressing journalists after regaining his freedom from the Ekiti State Correctional Centre.
Farotimi said, “It is not ever an easy journey when you are fighting evil, but some years back, before I started this work, God told me that the truth is enough.
“It is the only weapon with which you can slay the monster called Nigeria, which is the truth.
“In my war against the evil empire that we all live in, I have never lied against anyone. If I don’t know, I will say I don’t know.”
