A lot of Nigerians had decried the manner to which he was arrested, with many calling out the Nigerian Judiciary as living up to the description given by Dele Farotimi in his book.
The court had banned the book from the market, both in stores and digital platforms, with all Royalties forfeited to Afe Babalola the plaintiff.
On his arrival to the Magistrate court in Ado-Ekiti, the capital of Ekiti State, many supporters gathered at the court cheering him with chants, as he responded with a raised fist, while the police numbering about ten or more, guarded him into the court.
Channels Tv later reports that the court had granted Dele Farotimi a N30 million bail.
