One of Nigeria’s foremost constitutional and human rights
lawyers, Bamidele Aturu, has been
reported dead. A close associate of his, who confirmed the incident, said that
Aturu, renowned for his doggedness in fighting for the marginalised or the oppressed
died Wednesday evening in a Lagos hospital after a brief illness.
The Late Lawyer was aged 49.
He studied Law at the University of Ife (Now Obafemi Awolowo
University)
Aturu was one of the founders of Democratic Alternative
He declined his nomination into the ongoing national
conference arguing that the conference was already programmed to achieve
nothing
His death has undoubtedly thrown members of the legal
profession as well as the human rights community into mourning.
May his soul rest in peace
