Human
rights lawyer and activist, Fred Agbaje, has died. Mr. Agbaje
died in London yesterday, Friday.
The cause
of his death is yet to be disclosed.
His
colleague and fellow human rights lawyer, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, who also
confirmed Mr. Agbaje’s passing, described him a thoroughbred lawyer and a man
of principle.
“He got
nominated for SAN (Senior Advocate of Nigeria) three times but failed to make
the final list, and he told me he would not lobby anybody for that title,” Mr.
Adegboruwa said.
“He was a
highly detribalised Nigerian, not many knew he was from Edo State. The bar has
lost an icon, his place in Nigeria’s judiciary can never be filled.”
Before his
death, Mr. Agbaje served as the in-house lawyer for Ben Bruce’s Silverbird
Group, among other positions he held.
