Dele Farotimi, a human rights lawyer and vocal critic of institutional corruption in Nigeria, has stated, “I knew they were coming for me,” following his recent arrest by the Ekiti State Police Command in Lagos on December 3, 2024. The arrest, described as abrupt and forceful, has been criticized by groups such as Afenifere UK for disregarding legal procedures and rights.
Farotimi has alleged ongoing harassment, including attempts to extract his personal information through his staff and suspicious messages targeting him. He believes these actions stem from his outspoken views on systemic abuses within Nigerian institutions. Despite concerns for his safety, Farotimi remains resolute in staying in Nigeria, emphasizing his innocence and commitment to justice reform. He has filed legal motions to protect his rights while urging accountability for those targeting him.
This case has drawn national and international attention, with protests and calls for transparency regarding his treatment and safety. The broader implications highlight the risks faced by human rights defenders in Nigeria.
