The letter was shared on behalf of the law firm, Falana & Associates and dated September 18, 2023.
The letter further read: “We hereby request Your Lordship to conduct an inquest into the circumstances surrounding the tragic death in Lagos State, and we are confident that Your Lordship will accede to our request with utmost urgency.”
