Retired Supreme Court Justice, Olayiwola Aderemi Buried In Ibadan
">

It was day of tributes as eminent Nigerians relived the life and times of one of the nation’s finest jurists, retired Justice Pius Olayiwola Aderemi of the Supreme Court, who passed on at 78 on Monday, June 18, 2018, in Ibadan.

Justice Aderemi was variously described as a father at law and irreplaceable quintessential jurist whose contribution to legal theory, practice and principles shall find no match.

The Chief Judge of Oyo State, Justice Munta Abimbola, who described the late Aderemi as his father, said Oyo State Judiciary had lost a compass, and a great motivator.

He said: To me, I have lost a mentor, a guardian, an adopted father-in-law and most of all, a great inspirer and my beacon of steps in life in the legal practice.”

He was a man of honour, dignified in expressing opinions; he refrained from drawing conclusions or comments that were adverse on counsel. His language was sober and temperate, not satirical. As Judges ought to be, he was witty, more reverent than plausible, more advised than confidant. He was integrity personified. My Lord was a living oracle of law.

The event, which held at the Ring Road High Court, Ibadan, also had in attendance Jurists from High Court, Appeal Court and the Supreme Court, Senior Advocates of Nigeria, Attorneys-General, Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Chairmen, Registrars of the Supreme Court. The jurist’s seven children were led by Olakunle Aderemi.

The quintessential jurist, who started as a Judge of the Oyo State High Court later climbed to the Supreme Court where he retired in 2009 after 23 years of meritorious service.

Speaking on behalf of the Senior Advocates of Nigeria, Prince Lateef Fagbemi described the late jurist as pious who was in locus parentis to me. To Fagbemi, late Aderemi was an example of upright Judge who throughout his practice never compromised integrity and the ethics of the practice.

He used the forum to advocate for better welfare of judicial and court officials, as well as equipping the court rooms with modern facilities to make the dispensation of justice easier for the betterment of the society at large. He particularly reminded the

Chief Judge of the need to have efficient Research Assistants with adequate training and remuneration to assist our Judges and advance the course of justice dispensation

The Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Oluseun Abimbola, who represented the State Government and Governor Abiola Ajimobi, described Aderemi as a no-nonsense Judge in the diligence aspect of it. He would not tolerate indolence, sharp practices of any sort. He would  always enforce adherence to dress code, though in a very mild and fatherly manner. He was professional, tact, elegant in practice.
