It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of Pa Tunji Gomez. Pa Gomez was, until his death yesterday night, the oldest practicing lawyer in Nigeria and a deeply loved member of the Premier Bar.
The Branch had in recognition of his excellent service and uncommon devotion to the Branch, celebrated his 90th birthday in style a few months ago.
Our deepest condolences go to his immediate family.
