A devoted follower of the late Chief Gani Fawehinmi (SAN), Sulaiman was known for his unwavering advocacy for justice and human rights.

Throughout his activism, he was affiliated with several organisations, including the Democratic Socialist Movement (DSM), the National Conscience Party (NCP), the Committee for the Defence of Human Rights (CDHR), and the Muslim Students Society of Nigeria (MSSN), among others.

In a statement released on Thursday, Pastor Michael Agassi, the Assistant General Secretary of CHRSJ, described Sulaiman as a fearless and determined fighter who made a significant impact in the struggle for justice and democracy in Nigeria.

Agassi expressed that Sulaiman’s untimely death is a profound loss for the human rights community in Nigeria, particularly in Southwestern Nigeria, and that it is hard to bear.

He added, “His death is not only a painful loss for civil servants and pensioners in Osun State but also a great loss to the downtrodden masses in the country. Our society has lost a rare individual with extraordinary humility and courage, as he dedicated himself to the welfare of the common people.”

Agassi also noted that the late CHRSJ Chairman would be buried according to Islamic rites at the Abioye Ruling House/Compound in Awo, located in the Egbedore Local Government area of Osun State, on Thursday after Salat Ashr.

Sulaiman is survived by two wives and children.

Agassi concluded by praying for God to grant his soul eternal rest and to provide strength to his immediate family, friends, associates, and the broader human rights community to cope with this great loss.
