Following the death of Chief Judge of Kogi State, Justice Nasir Ajana, President Muhammadu Buhari has mourn him.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday mourned the Chief Judge of Kogi State, Justice Nasir Ajana, who died in Abuja.

He said the late Ajana’s “brilliant legal career” would remain a reference point in the years to come.

“The President commiserates with his family, Nigerian Bar Association and Body of Benchers over the demise of the legal luminary, urging family and all associates to find comfort in prayers and acceptance of the will of God.

“President Buhari believes the late Chief Judge made a remarkable impact on the state, his chosen profession and community, with clear evidence that his death will create a huge gap in the judiciary.

“The President prays that Almighty God will grant the soul of the departed a peaceful rest”, the State House said in Abuja.

The President also expressed similar feelings over the death of a paramount ruler in Adamawa State, the Hama Bachama, Col. Honest Stephens (retd.).

Stephens, who was 66 years old, ascended the stool of the Hama Bachama on December 15, 2013 as the 28th occupant.

Buhari recalled that the retired military officer “distinguished himself in the Nigerian Army and devoted his post-service years to promoting the development of his people and fostering unity of his fatherland.”

Presidential spokesman, Mr Garba Shehu, said Buhari urged the Bachama Kingdom to “elect a worthy successor”, as he prayed God to console all those mourning Stephens’ passing.
