Stand with Dele Farotimi: Justice, Democracy, and the Nigeria We Deserve
In an alarming attack on freedom of speech and human rights, prominent Nigerian lawyer and activist Dele Farotimi has been unjustly arrested for his fearless stand against systemic corruption and abuse of power. Dele’s work—highlighted by his powerful and now best-selling book Nigeria and Its Criminal Justice System—has exposed the deep flaws in Nigeria’s judiciary and challenged the status quo, making him a target of the corrupt officials he dared to confront.
This is not just an attack on Dele. It is an attack on democracy and the rule of law in Nigeria. By silencing his voice, those in power seek to silence millions of Nigerians calling for change and the Promise of a New Nigeria.
Naija We Can refuses to stand by as this injustice unfolds. Let’s collectively take a stand against oppression and injustice!
Why This Matters
Dele Farotimi’s arrest is emblematic of a larger fight for justice and accountability in Nigeria. His advocacy for electoral reform, human rights, and an end to judicial corruption has inspired millions at home and abroad. Now, he needs us to stand with him as he faces persecution for speaking truth to power.
As Africa’s most populous nation and largest democracy, Nigeria’s future impacts not only the continent but the world. To let such tyranny prevail unchecked is to compromise the principles of freedom and justice everywhere.
