The magistrate court in Ado-Ekiti Monday surprisingly denied bail to human rights activist, Dele Farotimi.
Farotimi had earlier pleaded not guilty to the charge defaming Afe Babalola, the founder of Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti.

This followed the unpersuasive submission of police counsel, Samson Osobu that the bail application submitted by the defendant was incomplete and not properly filed.
