The arrest and imprisonment of renowned human rights and good governance advocate, Dele Farotimi (@DeleFarotimi) is a wrong turn in Nigeria’s match to build a durable democracy.
Dele Farotimi was arrested in Lagos on Monday by policemen from Ekiti State Command and whisked to Ado Ekiti and arraigned on Wednesday in a Magistrate Court, Ado Ekiti Division.
Well-meaning Nigerians should be worried that the Nigeria Police should be involved in a desperate search to silence this conscience of the nation and an advocate of good governance and a New Nigeria where truth and justice indeed reigns. The way he has been treated sends the wrong signal to Nigerians and her friends abroad. – Valentine Ozigbo
