Innocent Chukwuma
How to believe that Nigeria’s prominent civil society leader, Innocent C. Chukwuma, is gone at 56! Among other important unfinished business–he still had a lot to give–was the conversation he began with me only six weeks ago concerning an important family matter hanging in the balance!
I first met Innocent during his Civil Liberties Organization (CLO) days when the organization was home to many of us who subscribed to a just and egalitarian country. My good friend Abdul Oroh was one of the activists at the helm and many other comrades who have since moved on to found their own organizations worked under the same CLO umbrella. Among them were friends on the Environmental Rights Action (ERA) wing chiefly Nnimmo Bassey and Oronto Douglas.
