Farotimi thanks Nigerians, hails public outcry against arrest, detention.
Human rights advocate, Dele Farotimi, was overcome with emotion as he reflected on the collective voice of Nigerians that he said saved his life.
Speaking on Sunday via YouTube and circulating on X, Farotimi attributed his freedom to the unwavering support of Nigerians who stood by him during his ordeal.
“We stopped being human because we became Nigerians. They divided us, and we fell for it.
“Because you wouldn’t see me as a Yoruba man, you spoke for me. Because you wouldn’t see me as a Christian, you spoke for me. Nigeria couldn’t happen to me because you spoke,” Farotimi said.
