‘I’m Ready For War,’ Dele Farotimi Blows Hot Amid Legal Battle
Dele Farotimi, a human rights activist and lawyer, has just broken his silence amid a heated legal battle.
In a bold statement on X, Farotimi declared, “I’m ready for war”.
“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.”
According to him, he has sharpened his “battle axes” and primed his “guns,” ready to take on the challenges ahead.
Farotimi’s defiance comes after a Chief Magistrate Court in Ado Ekiti granted him ₦30 million bail a few weeks ago.
He was arrested for allegedly defaming Afe Babalola, a prominent Senior Advocate of Nigeria and founder of Afe Babalola University.
