President Muhammadu Buhari has condoled with the family of the late Chief Rotimi Williams over the passing of their eldest son, Ladi.

Ladi died at St. Nicholas Hospital in Lagos early Sunday of COVID-19 complications, despite being vaccinated.

His brother, Kayode Williams announced the death and said:

“I just lost my elder brother, Chief Ladi Rotimi-Williams (aged 74+) to Coronavirus. He passed on at 3am this morning,” he said.

President Buhari said Ladi’s death has left many in shock, particularly his close friends and professional colleagues.

The President joined the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) and Body of Benchers in mourning the legal luminary, whose passion for jurisprudence and national development will be sorely missed.

President Buhari prayed that the Almighty God will comfort family, friends and associates of Chief Ladi Williams, and accept the soul of the departed.
