Ekiti State Police Command has banned ‘illegal’ gatherings and protests in the state in demand for the release of human rights lawyer Dele Farotimi who is being tried by the police at an Ado-Ekiti Chief Magistrate Court.

The ban comes a few days before the planned protest, on Tuesday.

Farotimi is accused of defaming a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Afe Babalola. He is accused of authoring and publishing a book titled: “Nigeria and its Criminal Justice System,” which alleged that Mr Babalola corrupted the Supreme Court to procure a fraudulent judgement in the service of his clients. The magistrate court ordered his remand in prison while his trial continues next Tuesday.

A statement from the Ekiti police spokesman, Abutu Sunday, a deputy superintendent of police, said to ensure a peaceful atmosphere and ensure the safety of lives and property of all and sundry, the police have banned any form of protest in the state.

“Any form of unlawful gathering, demonstration or protest is unacceptable as intelligence report available has it that some unscrupulous individuals have planned to hide under this protest to hijack it and unleash mayhem and create apprehension in the state.

“The Command, under the leadership of CP Akinwale Kunle Adeniran,mni, is assuring everyone of adequate security during and after this Ember months period while seeking for more supports, collaboration and obedience to law and order.

“In view of this, the Command, to sustain the peace, parents and guardians are therefore implored to advise their wards to shun any act that is inimical to the peace and security of the state, as anyone who runs foul of this directive will be dealt with in accordance with the law.”
