It’s the painful and sad reality that we have to accept that our brother, mentor, colleague and leader, Prof Lai Oso has died yesterday in a ghastly road accident. It’s the fluidity of life and transient nature of our existence; here today, gone tomorrow. Let’s take heart as we try to adjust to the reality of the permanent physical absence of our highly respected intellectual giant, Prof Oso. It is a collective loss of immense proportions. Please, I enjoin us to take heart and await additional details from the family and LASU. Adieu, brother, Professor Oso

Sorry to hear about his tragic accident that resulted to his death. May his family be comforted by his service to humanity. 
May his soul rest peacefully with his ancestors and Creator.
