Human Rights Lawyer And Social Commentator Murdered In His House.

Human rights lawyer and social commentator, Barrister Kunle Fadipe (pictured above) was last
night July 3rd  murdered at his residence at
Harmony Estate near Karaole Estate, College Road
in Ifako Ijaiye, Lagos.
According to reports, the estate where the late
barrister lived was plunged into total darkness
after power outage and the lawyer asked his son
to go and turn on the generator. As his son made
his way to the generator, a man armed with a knife
accosted him and ordered him to take him to his
father. As soon as the man got to Mr Fadipe, he
stabbed him in the neck and back. His daughter
who was at home immediately ran out of the house
and called for help. Two security officials attached
to the estate immediately ran there and were able
to overpower the murderer.

The aim for the murder is still unknown
however the police has taken the killer into
custody with a promise that the incident will be
thoroughly investigated.
Late Mr Kunle Fadipe was a former member of the
National Human Rights Commission and a member
of the board of trustees of the justice advocacy
group, Access to Justice. May his soul rest in
peace... Amen!!!
