Until his gruesome murder in the hands of his 21-year-old son Tolani, a 300-level student of the Department of History and International Relations at Redeemer University, RCCG Camp, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway last week, the name Charles Ajayi (SAN) did not ring a bell even in the legal profession where he was said to have risen to the highest rank in his career.
Attempts by Sunday Sun to do a special report on his contributions to the legal profession met a brick wall as most senior lawyers in Nigeria claimed not to know him or heard about him until his death.
Not even the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) could come out to identify him as a SAN. Surprisingly, when he was contacted, the President of the association, Okey Wali (SAN) had this to say:
“Honestly, I have not come across him or heard of his name before. There is nobody I have asked that seemed to know him. I think we need to check the records because I don’t know him personally and you know the number of SANs in Nigeria is not much.
“But we can’t come to conclusion because sometimes if you are not active on the Bar, not many people will know you.”
Constitutional lawyer and author, Sabastine Hon (SAN) just like NBA President said he has not come across the name Charles Ajayi (SAN) in the legal profession.
“Frankly speaking, I have not heard of that name before or come across somebody that knows him. It is rather unfortunate that he died at a time his services are needed most. Death comes in several ways, unfortunately in his case, it came through his own son. My heart goes to the family and I pray that God should comfort them.”
Also speaking, Lagos lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN) said; “No, I don’t know him. Frankly speaking, I can’t figure out his name, but call me back in two hours, maybe I may find something about him.”
Chief Chris Uche (SAN) said, “I don’t know him and have not come across him or heard about him until the sad news of his death. I will find out about him and call you back.”
Also speaking on the issue, Senior Advocate of Nigeria and a national delegate to the National Conference, Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN) had this to say; “In fact, I don’t even know him. I have never heard about him before now. You know the clan of SAN is small, I never heard of a name like that as SAN. He could be a lawyer, but certainly not a SAN.”
To further compound the matter, nobody seems to know his Abuja residence.
It would be recalled that the late Ajayi was killed by his son, Tolani, who reportedly chopped his body to pieces before dumping the remains in a bush near his home in Ogun State.
The incident occurred after an argument between Tolani and his father. He had reportedly questioned his son over his attitude and refusal to follow Biblical teachings.
