Adewole Qudus, a Nigerian journalist and publisher, has died.
After a brief illness, he died on Friday, leaving behind a father, mother, and immediate family.
Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has expressed condolences over the loss.
Qudus was described as an industrious, honest, and humble young man who died in his prime by publicist Tosin Osho in a statement.
“He was a nice man who respected everyone. I have known him for some years and I can confirm that Qudus was a good person”, Ayodele said.
The cleric prayed for the family members and asked God to grant him eternal rest.
Nigerian Guild of Investigative Journalists (NGIJ), National Association of Online Security Reporters (NAOSRE) and Nigerian Ambassador to Benin Republic, Tukur Buratai, have also reacted.
NAOSRE President, Femi Oyewale recalled that he spoke with the deceased hours before his demise.
Oyewale said he was convinced Qudus was getting better and would leave the hospital in a matter of days.
“Regrettably, he died even when I thought he was getting well,” his statement added.
“My condolences to his family, NAOSRE executives and members including the Nigerian media for this sudden death of such a promising journalist”, Buratai said.
