NIGERIAN LAW SOCIETY MOURNS PASSING OF EX CJN TANKO MUHAMMAD


CONDOLENCE MESSAGE FROM THE NIGERIAN LAW SOCIETY

The Nigerian Law Society (NLS) has received with profound sadness the news of the passing of the Honourable Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad, CFR, former Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN).

Justice Tanko Muhammad served the Nigerian judiciary with dedication over a distinguished career that culminated in his leadership of the nation’s highest court. His contributions to the administration of justice and the development of our legal jurisprudence during his tenure, first as a Justice of the Supreme Court and later as Chief Justice, form a significant part of our contemporary judicial history.

While his tenure had its unique challenges and transitions, the NLS acknowledges his service to the nation and extends its deepest sympathies to his immediate family, the Honourable Body of Benchers, the entire Nigerian judiciary, and the people of Bauchi State.

We pray that Almighty Allah (SWT) grants his soul al-Jannah Firdaus and gives his family, friends, and the legal community the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss.

May his legacy be a reminder of the solemn duty and immense responsibility borne by all who serve on the Bench.

Mela Audu Nunghe, SAN, MCIArb.UK, & Bencher Olasupo Ojo, Esq

President                                                 General Secretary
