Foremost human rights lawyer, Fred Agbaje is dead.
He died on Saturday after an undisclosed ailment in a London hospital.
Agbaje recently made headlines over his comments on corruption during a recent interview.
He said the delay in trial of corruption cases was a serious indictment of the judiciary.
Reacting to the call by President Buhari to the judiciary to support his anti-graft war, by ensuring that the criminal cases in court were not delayed, Agbaje said:
“It is a serious indictment to say the courts are the ones encouraging delay tactics to frustrate the hearing of corruption cases.
“It is a serious indictment on the judiciary. It is now for the judiciary to redeem itself.”
