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.”
