If they believe he has done anything inappropriate, they should have invited him peacefully and he honour their invitation rather than the way he was arrested and subsequently remanded on an alleged offence that is bailable under Nigerian law.This shows clearly that it is not because of the petition from Afe Babalola that is making them give Farotimi this highly dehumanizing experience. There is more to the arrest because Farotimi is known to be a vocal critic of the government.Atiku calls for immediate release of Dele Farotimi
