Breaking: Late Gani Fawehinmi’s first son, Mohammed, is dead

The first son of the late legal icon and human rights lawyer, Chief Gani Fawehinmi, Mohammed, has passed on.

Aged 52, Mohammed, a lawyer, reportedly died on Wednesday, August 11, 2021 after experiencing “breathing difficulties.”

The late Mohammed had a law degree from the University of Buckingham, England and was called to Nigerian bar in 1998.

Persecondnews recalls that in 2003, Mohammed had a horrific auto crash in Lagos which affected his spinal cord and confined him to the wheel chair.

Mohammed, it was learnt, was unmarried before his death.

He said in a media interview in 2018: “The accident has affected my life in many ways. I just felt that I should not bother any woman with my condition.

“I did not want anybody to marry me out of pity. Even though I always have females around me.

“It is not every woman that can stay with a person with disability of my kind.

“Most of the women I have met in recent times are not the ones that can stay with a man, they are the type who would want to attend parties and keep all sorts of friends instead of looking after me.

“Of course, a few have come close to what I want but the temperament is nothing to write home about.”
