Nigeria, July 28 -- The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos Mainland Local Government Area on Monday held a memorial service to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the death of Olufunsho Williams, a former governorship candidate murdered in 2006.

The service, held at St. Dominic's Catholic Church, Yaba, was themed, "A Life of Service. A Legacy of Integrity. An Inspiration Forever."

Mr Williams was killed at his residence in Dolphin Estate, Ikoyi, Lagos, on 27July 2006, shortly before the PDP was expected to choose its candidate for the 2007 Lagos State governorship election. He ran for governor in the earlier 2003 governorship election in the state but lost to Bola Tinubu, the future Nigerian president.
