In April 2022, Journalist and media manager, Bunmi Yekini, visited the Lagos home of retired lawyer, seasoned political activist, and author Dele Farotimi, who is deeply passionate about fostering a new and better Nigeria. The purpose of her visit was to interview him on the Nigerian judiciary and its role in the administration of justice.
Part of the interview was aired on the radio (Radio Now) that year, during which Farotimi expressed strong opinions about the Nigerian justice system at the time.
In 2024, he delved even deeper into these issues in his book titled “Nigeria and Its Criminal Justice System,” where he alleged malpractice by one of Nigeria’s Senior Advocates (SAN), among others. This publication led to his arrest on charges of alleged criminal defamation. He was subsequently remanded in prison custody but later granted bail.
