Ladi Williams son of late legal luminary, Rotimi Williams, dies of COVID-19

Oladipupo Williams, a legal luminary and senior advocate of Nigeria is dead.

According to Kunle, his son, Ladi, as he is fondly called, died in the early hours of Sunday from complications due to COVID-19.

“My father passed away this morning from COVID despite being double vaccinated with Oxford AstraZeneca,” Kunle said on his Facebook page.

He was 74-years-old.

Ladi was called to the Nigerian bar about 48 years ago and became a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN) in 1995.

Ladi and his father (late Fredrick Rotimi) were the first father and son to become Senior Advocates of Nigeria.

His death was confirmed by both his younger brother, Chief Kayode Rotimi-Williams and his son, Kayode Williams.

“I just lost my elder brother,” Chief Ladi Rotimi Williams said.

“My father passed away from COVID-19 this morning despite being doubly vaccinated,” Kayode Williams said.
