Popular Nollywood Actress, Shaffy Bello, has shown interest in the controversial book which led to the arrest of Human Rights lawyer, Dele Farotimi.
Bello, in a post on her X handle on Wednesday revealed plan to buy and give away 20 copies of the book written by the lawyer.
The book titled “Nigeria and its Criminal Justice System” had seen Farotimi stepped on toes of eminent Nigerians with elder stateman, Chief Afe Babalola filing petition against the lawyer over alleged defamation of character as contained in the book.
NPO reported that Farotimi was arrested at his Lagos office yesterday by police officers alleged deployed from Ekiti State Police Command.
Barely 24 hours after his arrest, Farotimi was reportedly presented before a court in Ado-Ekiti on Wednesday.
NPO reported that the lawyer was remanded in prison as the presiding judge refused his bail application.
This tends to have aroused Shaffy Bello’s curiosity over the content of the book which warranted the shocking arrest and persecution of Farotimi.
