The Nigerian legal profession was thrown into shock and disbelieve on Friday morning with the news of the murder of the very brilliant, Barrister Kunle Fadipe, a popular Lagos based, human right advocate and lawyer......
According to reports, Barrister Fadipe was stabbed to death by an assailant who laid siege in his compound on Thursday night. The killer was however apprehended by local security agents assigned to the Estate.
Sources close to the family of the deceased has reported that Barrister Fadipe returned from his Chambers at a bout 10pm on Thursday night and there was power outage, so one of his children came out to turn on the power generator. It is believed that the assailant followed him in and gained access into the building.
After stabbing his target in the neck and back repeatedly, he attempted to flee the scene, but one of Fadipe's daughters had ran out to alert the OPC members at the Estate's gate who immediately came in and arrested the killer. He was handed over to the Nigerian Police Force from Iju Police Station.
The Police are now investigating the case to determine whether this was a case of assassination or robbery.....
May his soul rest in peace!!!
