Pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has sent a delegation to visit detained human rights activist and member of its National Caucus, Dele Farotimi, at the Medium Security Custodial Centre of the Nigeria Correctional Service in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State.
The visit, on Friday, was confirmed by its Deputy Secretary-General, Alade Rotimi-John, in a statement made available to newsmen.
The statement, also on Friday, revealed that the delegation was sent by the National Leader of Afenifere, Chief Ayo Adebanjo.
Rotimi-John said: “On behalf of their National Leader, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, the National Caucus Leaders of Afenifere paid a solidarity visit to Mr. Dele Farotimi, who is a member of the National Caucus of Afenifere, at the Ado-Ekiti Correctional Centre to deliver a private message from Chief Adebanjo and to enquire about his wellbeing.”

It added: “Afenifere will wait to consider its next line of action after the ruling of the Chief Magistrate on December 20.”
Those who paid the visit to Farotimi included Chief Supo Shonibare, Basorun Segun Sanni, Nike Olujembola, Toyin Falade, Pastor Olayemi Olajuyinnu, and Tunde Babarinde.
