A former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Dr. Olu Onagoruwa, is dead.

He was appointed the AGF by the late Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha, in November 1993.
He, however, quit the post few months later due to agreements with the military government.
Onagoruwa studied law at the University of London where he obtained his LL.B; LL.M and PhD degrees before returning to the country, where he attended the Nigerian Law School.
He established the Onagoruwa Chambers in the early 80s and became a key figure in Nigeria’s human rights struggle.
