The Ikeja branch of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) says the death of Mohammed Fawehinmi, son of late Chief Gani Fawehinmi (SAN), left a huge void in the legal community.
Bartholomew Aguegbodo, its chairman, said this on Thursday in Lagos.
Mohammed, 52, a lawyer and human rights advocate, passed away on Wedneday evening after complaining of breathing difficulties.
The late Mohammed was a huge supporter and regular feature at the Chief Gani Fawehinmi Annual Lecture organised by the NBA Ikeja Branch.
Aguegbodo said according to NAN that Mohammed’s death was received with a huge shock by the NBA Ikeja Branch.
“We have always related to him on his late father’s annual lecture.
“His death is not just a big loss to Ikeja Branch, it is a negative reflection of our health care.
The government should look more into providing better healthcare,” he said.
Aguegbodo stated that the NBA was grieving and would reach out to the Fawehinmi family.
