Late eminent jurist Bola Ajibola
By YETUNDE FATUNGASE
Remains of the former Attorney-General and Chief Justice of the Federation, Prince Bola Ajibola, were on Sunday interred at the Islamic Mission for Africa (IMA), Abiola Way in Abeokuta.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo; former President Olusegun Obasanjo; former Governor of Ogun, Olusegun Osoba and Chief Imam of Egbaland, Sheik Sa’dallah Bamgbola, were among eminent dignitaries who paid last respect to the late former Attorney-General.
Ajibola, also a former Jurist of International Court at Hague, Netherlands, died in the early hours of Sunday at 89.
The Janazah prayer was led by the Chief Imam of Egbaland, Sheik Sa’dallah Bamgbola.
In a sermon at the internment, the Mudir Morkaz Zulikha, Dr Khidir Mustapha, said that it was important for every human being to live a righteous life and be conscious of eternity.
Mustapha, however, extolled the virtues of the late former Jurist of International Court at Hague.
He described the deceased as a peacemaker who contributed immensely to the development of Ogun and the country in general.
Other dignitaries at the event included the Deputy Governor of Ogun, Noimot Salako- Oyedele; the state Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr Olusina Ogungbade among other top state government functionaries. (NAN)
