Chief Gani Fawehinmi. 1938 - 2009
The remains of Chief Fawehinmi was not buried according to Islamic rites the same day he died. That's because the late legal icon left instruction that his burial should be well planned and should also be elaborate. And they are really giving him a well deserved burial. He will be buried this week in his home town.
While driving past Ikorodu road around noon on Friday September 11th, I witnessed the rally organised by the Labour leaders in honour of the late Chief Gani Fawehinmi. I saw him in his transparent casket. We were in traffic so we had enough time to really look. It was such a surreal moment for me.
