The Nigerian Police Force has arrested Dele Farotimi, a human rights lawyer
Farotimi was arrested by the Nigerian Police over a petition by Tony Elumelu of UBA Group alleging Dele defamed him.
Farotimi previously disclosed to journalists that the police were trying to abduct him in November, days after he got an invitation letter from the Zone 2 Police Command in Lagos on November 11.
The police had asked him to report to the station on November 13. Farotimi said the police showed him a petition accusing him of defamation when he arrived at the station. The petition was written by a lawyer on behalf of Elumelu, the Chairman of UBA Group.
