Farotimi had remained in detention despite being granted bail by both the Federal High Court in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State on cybercrime charges brought by the Nigeria Police and a Magistrate Court in Ado-Ekiti on criminal defamation charges.
Farotimi is facing trial in two courts on charges bordering on the alleged defamation of Afe Babalola.
