Advocacy comes at a steep price in a country where dissent is often met with intimidation or worse.

In a chilling revelation, human rights lawyer and outspoken activist Dele Farotimi has raised the alarm over threats to his life and those of his associates.

Known for his fearless critique of Nigeria’s political and social structures, Farotimi claims that powerful individuals have weaponized state resources to silence him. His statement, aptly titled “They Want to Silence Me,” has sent ripples through the nation’s activist and intellectual circles.

Farotimi has long been a thorn in the side of those in power, addressing systemic corruption, human rights abuses, and the erosion of democracy. He describes the current threats as part of a larger effort to suppress dissent and maintain the status quo. “It is not just me they are after; it’s anyone who dares to challenge the system,” he said.

Social media platforms have exploded with reactions. Many Nigerians have expressed solidarity, applauding his courage in the face of adversity. Others have questioned why dissenting voices like his continue to face such harsh reprisals in a democracy.

This isn’t just about Farotimi—it’s a mirror of the larger struggles faced by activists in Nigeria. The Farotimi case highlights a pressing question: how free are Nigerians to hold their leaders accountable?

The implications of this are profound. If a society cannot protect those who speak out for justice, it risks descending into a spiral of silence and impunity. Farotimi’s plight serves as both a call to action and a stark reminder of the sacrifices that come with the fight for truth.

As we follow this unfolding story, one thing remains clear: the voices of truth-tellers like Farotimi are not just essential—they are indispensable.
