“My brother, friend and son of my late boss, Mohammed Fawehinmi, is gone. I am speechless and heartbroken. I just spoke with the eldest daughter Basirat and she confirmed it. Mohammed was energetic and very intellectually alert, despite his mishap. He kept the flame of his father burning. We will sorely miss him.”
These are the words of the Minister of State for Labour, Festus Keyamo, as he mourned the death of Mohammed, son of the late legendary human rights activist, Chief Gani Fawehinmi.
Mohammed died in Lagos on Wednesday, at the age of 52.
The deceased who remained on a wheelchair since 2003 when he was involved in a terrible accident, was a graduate of Business Administration of the University of Lagos in 1991.
He obtained an LLB degree from the University of Buckingham, England, and was called to Nigerian Bar in 1998.
