Baba Omojola,a renowned pro-democracy activist and prominent economist, has died in Akure, the capital of Ondo State a few hours after submitting a presentation to the National Dialogue Committee in Ondo State early today.
Omojola was one of five activists known as “Kuje Five” who were arrested and clamped into military detention after Nigerian students engaged in massive protests to force out the Ibrahim Babangida dictatorship in 1992. Gani Fawehinmi, Femi Falana, Olusegun Mayegun, and Beko Ransome-Kuti were the other members of “Kuje Five”.
According to Sahara reporters, Mr. Omojola’s family said his death was a “stunning event”.
More details to follow.
