Fully vaccinated 74 year old SAN, dies of COVID-19
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 Frederick Rotimi Williams.
A Facebook post by Oladipupo’s son, Kunle revealed that his father died on Sunday at a private hospital in Lagos.
Oladipupo was called to the Nigerian bar about 48 years ago and he became a SAN in 1995.
He was a principal partner at the Chief Ladi Rotimi-Williams Chambers, a Nigerian law firm based in Lagos.
The senior lawyer was regarded as one of the top 100 senior advocates in the country with expertise in litigation and commercial law.
Meanwhile, a Professor of Virology, Oyewale Tomori said people who had been fully vaccinated could still die of Covid-19.
“Fully vaccinated does not mean fully immunized; vaccination is not synonymous to immunization. For many reasons, we all react differently to any injection. If i have a precondition that affects my ability to mount a proper response; if the vaccine is not properly kept potent; these are why vaccine efficacy is not too 100 per cent he said.
