A human rights lawyer, Chief Malcolm Omirhobo, has shared fond memories of his interface with the late Mohammed Fawehinmi, the first son of late human rights icon, Chief Gani Fawehinmi (SAN).

In a tribute made available to our correspondent, Omirrhobo described Mohammed Fawehinmi as ‘modest, humble and simple notwithstanding his aristocratic background.’

According to Omirhobo, ‘Moh’ as he was fondly called, was ‘a man who was very much alert and conscious of his environment, who also had a retentive memory and was an extrovert extraordinaire.

“He made other people’s business his business. Moh was a compassionate and empathetic person. He had the ability to understand other people’s thoughts and feelings in situations from their point of view, rather than his. He was highly sympathetic and had concern for others.

“He taught me a couple of tricks in practice. Moh, you were nice and wonderful to me which is why my love for you surpasses the love of women,” Omirhobo noted.

Mohammed died on Wednesday, August 11, 2021, at a Lagos hospital.

His family said he died of COVID-19 complications. He was aged 52.
