Operatives of the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) have reportedly arrested human rights lawyer, Dele Farotimi.
Farotimi’s arrest was revealed by the 2023 presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore, in a post on his X handle on Tuesday.
Sowore called for the lawyer’s immediate release, emphasising that the police should not be used to settle personal disputes.
“It is pertinent that the Nigerian police are notified that the institution cannot continue to be used to settle personal scores, and we, the citizens of Nigeria, would no longer tolerate such a situation.” Sowore posted.
“Therefore, the police at Zone 2 in Lagos are advised to release Barrister Dele Farotimi immediately.”
