Wherever you hear the name Gani Fawehinmi (Senior Advocate of the Masses, SAM and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN), the name is synonymous with fighting against oppression, Injustice, inequality, hunger, poverty, the list is endless.
And wherever you see trio of Gani, Yinka Odumakin and Dr Joe Odumakin in detention or in prison, it is for a cause for freedom, fairness, justice and equity. They fought together with like-minded human right activists to send the military packing.
They are prisoners of conscience.
They fought tooth and nail with everything st their disposal at the risks of their lives for this democracy some prodigal politicians have bastardized today.

Read the statement:
“If breath was the currency of life and its legal tender…then, Yinka spent his breath on causes.
The medics said his oxygen level was running low but my husband was reaching out for his tab to type out his column.
He was never frugal in spending that oxygen on his Yoruba earth – his beloved and his Nigeria – his truly beloved
My memories are rousing through chains of pains. A sea surge of a romance which sprouted in Gen. Sani Abacha’s detention.
My husband was not a criminal, neither was I. Our “crime” was standing strong for others as we always have been. We will return to the dingy detention cell in our reminiscences later!
Who meets and marries from detention at Alagbon? Only Yinka would ask! And only I would say YES!
We were introduced to each other by the most qualified, the most preeminent, and the most decorated of inmate – Chief Gani Fawehinmi (SAM, SAN).

Chief said: “Yinka, she’s a man!”. Yinka married both the man & the woman in me!
It was our truest solemnization of activist matrimony by a revered High Priest of the struggle…with the trench as our altar and the good of our people as our ultimate goal.
Yinka, it cannot be goodbye, It is goodnight and see you later on the other side with God.
I will bask with reckless abandon in the shadow of your cast…
