ACF in a statement issued yesterday in Kaduna by the National Publicity Secretary, Muhammad Ibrahim (Danmasanin Biu), described Pa Wada Ejiga as “a community leader of repute, a former Area Court Judge and one of the early educationists in Igalaland who dedicated his life to the service of his community and humanity in general.”

ACF extended its condolence to the immediate family of Pa Wada, to Governor Idris Wada, and to the people and government of Kogi State.

Pa Wada Ejiga, who died in his hometown Ayangba, Kogi State, at the age of 100, has since been buried according to Islamic rites.
