The tribute described his passing as a “profound loss to the Nigerian political and legal landscape,” highlighting his dedication as a lawyer and political commentator deeply involved in shaping public discourse.

The tribute further noted, “Onokpasa’s voice, whether in support or critique, was a vital part of Nigeria’s democratic conversation, and his absence will be deeply felt. May his family, friends, and colleagues find strength and solace in this difficult time. May His Soul Rest in Perfect Peace. Amen.”
The circumstances surrounding Onokpasa’s death, who gained national attention for his strong support of President Bola Tinubu and frequent television appearances defending the administration, are yet to be disclosed.
