JUST IN: Police File Fresh Cybercrime Charges Against Human Rights Lawyer Dele Farotimi

The Nigerian police have filed 12 new charges against human rights lawyer Dele Farotimi at the Federal High Court in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State.

Filed on Friday, the charges aim to counter Farotimi’s bail application and prolong his remand. Farotimi, known for his advocacy for justice, had earlier been arraigned on related allegations.
