Following the arrest of human rights lawyer, Dele Farotimi, 2023 Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, said, he told Kunle Akinwale, the Commissioner of Ekiti State Police Command, “that this constituted an abuse of @PoliceNG’s powers and that this was a civil case that ought not to have warranted police intervention”

According to Sowore: “I just spoke with Kunle Akinwale, the Commissioner of
@PoliceNG Ekiti State Command. He admits that they arrested @DeleFarotimi and that he’s being driven from Lagos to Ekiti by road.
I told him categorically that this constituted an abuse of @PoliceNG’s powers and that this was a civil case that ought not to have warranted police intervention.
When he admitted to me that they were driving him from Lagos, I asked him repeatedly, “ Did he kill someone?”
He even said he was still under investigation for “cybercrime.” this illegal arrest was staged by one of Nigeria’s most senior lawyers, Afe Babalola SAN
This is just despicable.
#FreeDeleFarotimi Now!”
