Death of ex-NBA Ikeja chapter chairman, Ogunlana, shocking, says Sanwo-Olu
Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has described the passing away of a human rights activist and former Chairman of Nigerian Bar Association, Ikeja branch, Adesina Ogunlana, as sudden and a great loss.
This is contained in a statement by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Publicity, Gboyega Akosile, in Lagos on Wednesday.
The governor commiserated with the Ogunlana family and the entire members of NBA, particularly Ikeja branch, over the death of “a fearless and courageous lawyer.’’
He said that the deceased, popularly called “Serubawon” by his colleagues, led a fulfilled life by making positive impacts on the lives of the ordinary people during his lifetime.
Mr Sanwo-Olu prayed for the repose of the soul of the deceased and for God to grant his family and friends the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
