The 91-year-old lecturer at Faculty of Law, Adeleke University, Ede, Prof. Toriola Oyewo Ajagbe is dead.

Ajagbe was promoted to the rank of a Senior Advocate of Nigeria in 2021 after he clocked 90 years.

Our correspondent gathered that the nonagenarian died at the University College Hospital, Ibadan on Tuesday where he was receiving treatment following the injuries he sustained in an auto crash at Ode Omu town in Osun State.

His daughter, Mrs Kiitan Adeagbo, who confirmed her father’s death to our correspondent said he was traveling to Ede from his base in Ibadan nine days ago when he was involved in the accident.

He was taken to the intensive Care Unit at the UCH where he eventually gave up the ghost.

Adeagbo said, “He was traveling to Ede last week Monday when the accident occurred and we eventually lost him.”

Prof @ his 91st birthday celebration two weeks ago... (1931)

So the old man was just waiting to be confirmed a SAN before dying.

You see man is a spiritual being.

Speak to yourself that you shall not die until a certain thing has happened and you see it happening.

But I’m not even sure

RIP to him.

Watched his interview on BBC Yoruba and he was so proud of that SAN title. Nice that his wish was fulfilled.

When he was frustrated, he said he once used a car to load all the book he has written all the way to Abuja to show them that he’s capable and deserve to be SAN. He said he never gave up even when he’s old and he still kept pushing until he got the SAN at a very old age.

He lived a life well spent ... May his soul rest in peace

May his soul rest in peace.

Issokay!!!

R.I.P to him

RIP SAN Baba
