The Nigerian Law School (NLS) has been thrown into mourning as one of its top teachers and criminal litigation lecturer at the Abuja Campus, Dr. Abraham Afolayan, collapsed and died during an official event he was attending.
The Nigeria Lawyer reports that the body of Afolayan, who suddenly collapsed and passed while representing the NLS Director General at an event in the city centre was brought back to the Law School clinic on Tuesday afternoon.
The Nigeria Lawyer further reports that Dr. Afolayan who is highly regarded as a father figure and mentor to many students, is equally known for his exceptional teaching skills in criminal litigation and for imparting wisdom and kindness. He was admired for his wisdom, kindness, and dedication to nurturing the next generation of legal professionals.
“Former students fondly remember Dr. Afolayan as the guiding light of their legal careers. Many credit him with instilling in them the values of ethics and professionalism that are essential in the legal field.
“The Nigerian Law School mourns the loss of one of its brightest stars, a man who left an indelible mark on legal education in Nigeria. Dr. Abraham Afolayan’s passing is a significant loss, and his memory will be cherished by all whose lives he touched.”
