NIGERIANS,
especially the human rights community were in shock last night when the news of
the death of activist lawyer Bamidele Aturu filtered in.
According to
close associates, the lawyer suddenly took ill yesterday morning after he
complained of stress and weakness and was rushed to the Lagos State University
Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) Ikeja where he died in the evening.
Tributes have
continued to pour in for the late lawyer.
Many described him as a dogged fighter and compassionate person who
fought for the under privileged and the poor.
A close ally
of the late lawyer and fellow rights activist, Festus Keyamo couldn’t control
his emotion when contacted. However he managed to say “I am short of word, I am
devastated, this is sad.”
