The former governor of Abia condoled with the government and people of Ondo over the loss.
While praying to God to grant the deceased eternal rest, Kalu urged the Fawehinmi family to be comforted in the remarkable life Mohammed lived.
“The death of the eldest child of late legal luminary, Chief Gani Fawehinmi, Mohammed is shocking and painful.

“He was successful in his profession and humanitarian gestures.
“ The deceased left behind good legacies worthy of emulation,” Kalu said.
