He also commiserated with the deceased family, friends and colleagues, especially the management and staff of The Guardian Newspaper, as well as the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) and the Photojournalists Association of Nigeria (PJAN) over the death of the veteran photojournalist.
“Mr. Femi Adebeshin-Kuti was a diligent and thoroughbred professional. I know him personally and his death was a shock to me but we take solace in the Almighty God that he lived a fulfilled life.
