Reports emerging from Lagos indicate that renowned human rights activist and lawyer Dele Farotimi has been detained by unidentified individuals, sparking widespread concern over his safety and the circumstances surrounding his arrest.

Farotimi, known for his unwavering advocacy for justice and transparency in Nigeria, was reportedly apprehended at his office in Lekki Phase 1 early this morning. Witnesses state that a group of plainclothes men arrived at the scene and escorted him away without providing any explanation or identification.

As of this report, no government agency or security body has claimed responsibility for the arrest. Repeated attempts to contact Farotimi via phone have been unsuccessful, and his current location remains unknown. Sources close to the situation suggest that the arrest may be linked to a defamation suit filed by prominent businessman Tony Elumelu , though details of the legal dispute remain speculative at this time. Neither Farotimi’s legal team nor representatives of Mr.

Elumelu have issued statements addressing the alleged connection. The apparent disappearance of such a high-profile figure raises significant questions about due process and transparency in law enforcement practices.

Public outcry from civic organizations and Farotimi’s supporters has already begun to mount, with demands for clarity on the motivations behind his arrest and immediate disclosure of his whereabouts.
