CEO of Innoson Vehicles and Nigerian civil society leader, Innocent Chukwuma, is dead?.

He died on Saturday evening in Lagos, according to close friends who indicated that he was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia, an aggressive cancer of the blood.

He was 55.

“With profound shock & sadness, I regret to inform you that Innocent Chukwuma passed away a few hours ago, in the evening of April 3. May his soul rest in peace,” announced Edetaen Ojo, a frontline freedom of expression advocate and executive director of the Media Rights Agenda, who was a friend of Mr Chukwuma.

Mr Chukwuma, 55, came to public attention first as a student union activist at the University of Nigeria, where he read religious studies, in the heady eighties when Nigerian students led relentless campaigns against military autocracy.

Upon graduation he joined a cluster of young activists who came to bloom at the Civil Liherties Organisation (CLO), Nigeria’s first human rights organisation led for most of the nineties by Olisa Agbakoba, now a member of the velvet rank of the legal profession called senior advocates of Nigeria.

At CLO, Mr. Chukwuma, a father of three daughters, one who graduated in law and was called to the bar last year, met people like Chidi Odinkalu, a lawyer, academic and former chairman of the Nigeria Human Rights Commission.

    This is wrong! Please, stop disinforming the public. Get your facts straight. The deceased is a different Innocent Chukwuma, a notable civil society icon, not the CEO of Innoson Motors!

    It is ridiculous that an uninformed person as the author of this misinformation has found an occupation as a journalist. For the records, CEO of INNOSON isn't dead. You need to retract this misinformation and tender apology to your readers.
