The sadness was expressed on Tuesday in a statement by the Executive Director, CHRICED, Comrade Ibrahim M. Zikirullahi.
The group described Aremu as a distinguished advocate for social justice and an unwavering defender of the rights of the working class.
“His tragic death in a hit-and-run accident has left a deep void in Nigeria’s civic and labour movements,” CHRICED said.

“Comrade Aremu was a towering figure whose contributions transcended activism. As a founding member and leader within the Joint Action Front (JAF), the United Action for Democracy (UAD), and the Amilcar Cabral Ideological School, he played a pivotal role in shaping progressive discourse and mobilizing citizens toward transformative change. His intellectual rigour, organizational acumen, and principled commitment to equity and solidarity earned him respect both locally and internationally. Notably, his dedication to global justice was recognized by the Cuban government with the prestigious Friendship Medal,” the group added.
CHRICED said it mourned not only the loss of a visionary leader but of a comrade whose courage, integrity, and compassion inspired generations.
It declared that his legacy remained a guiding light for all who continued the struggle for a just, inclusive, and democratic society.
“We extend our deepest condolences to his family, comrades, and all those whose lives he touched. May his memory endure as a source of strength and resolve in the pursuit of justice,” CHRICED prayed.
