Oluwa left indelible marks, says Okunu
Former Federal Commissioner for Works and Housing Alhaji Femi Okunnu has paid tribute to the deceased jurist, Isola Oluwa, saying that he left indelible marks.
He also described him as a great custodian of history, who was endowed with an enviable mental recall. Okunnu said:”It was a great lesson. He was always punctual. At 9am, like his late brother, Justice Yaya Jinadu, he was on his seat in the court. If you were late to his court by one minute, you were out. It is a big lesson to our magistrates and judges today.”
Okunnu said”:It was a sensational case. Oluwa sentenced the socialite, Ejigbadero, owner of a nail industry at Mushin, to death. It was a famous judgment, which was affirmed by the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court. ” He said the culture of community service has endured through the principled position of Justice Oluwa on Lagos affairs and the patriotic activities of other descendants, including the Lagos West All Progressives Congres leader, Chief Rabiu Oluwa, grandson of Tijani Oluwa.
