The Guild of Corporate Online Publishers (GOCOP) has extended heartfelt condolences to its member, Mr. Gabriel Akinadewo, publisher of Freedom Online, following the tragic loss of his son, Oluwagbenga.
In a letter jointly signed by its President, Danlami Nmodu, mni, and General Secretary, Sufuyan Ojeifo, the Guild described the young man’s death as deeply saddening and a profound loss to his family, friends, and the wider online publishing community.
GOCOP urged the Akinadewo family to take solace in the purposeful and productive life their late son lived, noting that his journey reflected promise, dedication, and commitment to nation-building.
The condolence letter read in part:
“Washington’s life, though cut short, was a testament to his potential and promise. His impending National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in January 2026, consequent upon his graduation from a private university in Lagos, where he studied Information Technology, was a milestone that symbolised his dedication to scholarship and nation-building. His passing is a profound loss to your family, the online publishing community, and the nation at large.”
The Guild further expressed hope that the memories of Washington’s accomplishments and legacy would bring comfort and strength to the bereaved family.
In its message, GOCOP prayed for the repose of Oluwagbenga’s soul and asked for divine protection over Mr. Akinadewo, his wife, and their loved ones during this difficult period.
