President Muhammadu Buhari said the brilliant legal career of Justice Nasir Ajana, the late chief judge of Kogi State will remain a reference.

Buhari said this Sunday in his condolence message to the government and people of Kogi State over Ajana’s death.

According to a statement by spokesman Garba Shehu, President Buhari commiserated with Ajana’s family, Nigerian Bar Association and Body of Benchers.

He urged his family and all associates to find comfort in prayers and acceptance of the will of God.

President Buhari believed the late Chief Judge made a remarkable impact on the state, his chosen profession and community.

He said there was clear evidence that his death will create a huge gap in the Kogi judiciary.

The President prayed that Almighty God will grant the soul of the departed a peaceful rest.
