A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Makinde, Mr. Taiwo Adisa, indicated that the governor commiserated with the Chief Judge of the state, Honourable Justice Munta Abimbola and the members of the Judiciary as well as members of the late Mrs. Badrudeen’s immediate family.

The governor said: “The news of the death of Alhaja Fatimo Badrudeen is saddening. It is a sad loss to Oyo State and a great blow to the Judiciary, where her vivacious and hardworking nature showed all through her career.
“I condole with the Chief Judge of the state, members of the Judiciary and the family Madam Badrudeen left behind.
“It is my prayer that God will uphold everyone she left behind.”

She later rose to become Chief Magistrate (Administration) before rising to the post of the Chief Registrar of the High Court.
