Late Justice Ngwuta
By CHARLES IWUOHA
The Ebonyi state Governor David Umahi at the weekend expressed shock over the death of the Supreme Court Judge, Justice Nwali Sylvester Ngwuta.
Justice Ngwuta died at the age of 69.
The Governor made this known in a statement signed by his Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mr. Francis Nwaze.
According to the statement, "Umahi commiserated with the family, friends and well-wishers of a detribalized Nigerian, His Lordship, Justice Nwali Sylvester Ngwuta over his death at the age of 69, and this is another confirmation that life and death are only in the hands of God.
“It is shocking to hear about the death of our brother and a Supreme Court officer, Justice Nwali Ngwuta at the age of 69. It caused deep pain in my heart as he has less than a year to return from active service but no one can question God for both life and death are in His hands,” he noted.
The Governor observed that Justice Ngwuta was a hardworking, dedicated, and committed public servant whose death occurred when his wise counsel and contributions are needed both in the state and the nation in general.
He, however, urged the family members, Onicha people, Ebonyians and the nation to be consoled by his landmark achievements while on earth, praying that God will grant his soul a peaceful rest.
