Governor of Lagos State, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu has penned an emotional tribute for late Mohammed Fawehinmi, son of late legal luminary and human rights activist, Gani Fawehinmi who passed away on Wednesday.

The statement reads, “It is with a deep sense of sorrow that I commiserate with the family, friends and associates of the late Mohammed Fawehinmi. He was undoubtedly a great Nigerian, passionate human rights activist and champion of a true Nigeria.

“On behalf of my family and the people of Lagos State, I express my heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, associates and members of the Civil Society Organisations in Nigeria.

“I pray that God will grant Mohammed Fawehinmi eternal rest and give the immediate family and friends the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.”
