The theecho.com.ng gathered from the reliable source that the deceased slumped during an official occasion and breathed his last in Abuja on Tuesday.
The deceased, Dr. Abraham Femi Afolayan was a metaphor of assiduity, industry, sedulity, excellence and erudition from his undergraduate days at the university of Ibadan where he bagged his LL.B(Hons.) Degree in 1984, BL. in Nigerian Law School, Lagos in 1985 and LL.M at Obafemi Awolowo university in 1999. Through the narratives from his tutees in Abuja campus (the aspirants to the Bar) who were interviewed it was gathered that his methodology to the teaching of Criminal Litigation and the simplicity of his scholarly works registered him to the hearts of his students.
