Mr Fawehinmi, a law graduate of University of Buckingham, England, was called to Nigerian bar in 1998.
He had been managing his father’s law firm but was unable to take it to greater heights due to his medical condition.
Mr Fawehinmi had an accident that confined him to wheel chair in 2003.
He remained unmarried saying he preferred not to bother due to his condition.
“I just felt that I shouldn’t bother any woman with my condition.
I didn’t want anybody to marry me out of pity,” he said in a 2018 interview.
