(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Oladipupo Williams, was on Sunday reported to have died of COVID-19 despite being fully vaccinated with the Oxford Astrazeneca vaccine.

Oladipupo was the first child of late legal luminary, Chief Fredrick Rotimi Williams.

A Facebook post by Oladipupo’s son, Kunle, revealed that his father died on Sunday at a private hospital in Lagos.

He wrote, “My father passed away this morning from COVID despite being double vaccinated with Oxford AstraZeneca.”

Oladipupo was called to the Nigerian bar about 48 years ago and he became a SAN in 1995.

The senior lawyer was regarded as one of the top 100 senior advocates in the country with expertise in litigation and commercial law.
