The firm said the bereaved family requested privacy at this difficult time so they could mourn their loss.
“He (Ogunbanjo) was more than just a leader; he was a guiding light, a mentor and a symbol of legal excellence,” said the firm.
“His absence leaves a significant void not only within our firm but also across the legal and business communities in Nigeria.”
Ogunbanjo was on the boards of several multinational companies including Beta Glass Plc.
