President Bola Tinubu has condoled with the Ayoola family of Ilesa, Osun State over the passing of Justice Emmanuel Ayoola.
In a statement on Wednesday by the Special Adviser to the President, Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, the President extolled Ayoola’s dedication, integrity and courage to act in the interest of justice.
The President also commiserated with the associates of the deceased and members of the Nigerian judicial society over the loss.
