Embracing Bravery: Dele Farotimi’s ‘I Face No Fear and I Have None’ Explained
Dele Farotimi, a prominent Lagos-based lawyer and human rights advocate, has declared his unwavering resilience amid ongoing legal challenges. Facing a 14-count charge, including allegations of criminal defamation against Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) Afe Babalola, Farotimi was released from a correctional facility in Ekiti State on December 24, 2024, after meeting his bail conditions.
In a recent statement shared on his X (formerly Twitter) page, Farotimi expressed his steadfastness, stating, “I face no fears. I have none.”
The charges against Farotimi stem from claims that he defamed Afe Babalola in his book titled Nigeria and its Criminal Justice System. Despite these legal proceedings, Farotimi remains a vocal critic of perceived injustices, maintaining his stance and expressing confidence in his defense.
His declaration of fearlessness has resonated with many supporters and observers, highlighting his commitment to his advocacy work despite the challenges posed by the legal system.
