Embattled human rights activist, Dele Farotimi, on Sunday said he was ready to face his ongoing trial and run it to the end, a pronouncement that would appear to have foreclosed out-of-court settlement or other Alternative Dispute Resolution mechanisms.
Farotimi said his battle axes had been sharpened, and his guns primed, ready for war.
Posting on X, the activist lawyer said he was strong enough to confront principalities and powers.
“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.
Farotimi was arrested for allegedly defaming Afe Babalola, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and founder of Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti, ABUAD.
