The Nigerian legal profession has been thrown into mourning following the death of renowned legal scholar, advocate and former Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice of Lagos State, Prof. Alfred Kasunmu (SAN) who died peacefully in the early hours of Sunday. He was 92.
Kasunmu, widely regarded as one of the most distinguished figures of Nigeria’s legal profession and a towering personality of the golden era of Nigerian advocacy, was remembered by leading members of the Bar as a remarkable scholar, gentleman, mentor and statesman whose contributions profoundly shaped legal education, jurisprudence and legal practice in Nigeria.
It came as Kasunmu’s death was formally announced by his family, which described him as a beloved father, grandfather and great-grandfather.
