Photo credit:@atiku/@InibeheEffiongSource: TwitterCan @CorrectionsNg explain why they had to handcuff @DeleFarotimi while taking him to the Federal High Court in Ado Ekiti this morning for arraignment?This is preposterous.He did not pose any threat and did not resist being taken to court.Dele Farotimi is a political prisoner and will come out stronger.Nigerians react as Farotimi appears in HandcuffThe government agencies are the highest law breaker in Nigeria. Sometimes they don’t even know lack of training and ethics.This concerns the Nigeria Police and the Judiciary. Is handcuffing necessary in a murder case or when dealing with a wanted criminal? They seem to be trying to justify the allegations.It’s so sad, the Nigerian story . The tale of alleged corrupt institutions who no longer work for the citizens but allegedly used as weapons against the common man.Handcuffing him was a plus for us. We have more proof to show now that Dele is a political prisoner. We have proof that Afe Balalola is a judicial bully and tyrant. We have reason to think that the Nigerian justice system is wack.Court grants Dele Farotimi N50m bail
