Some of the legal icons in attendance were Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Chima Centus Nweze, retired Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Francis Tabai; Justice of the Court of Appeal, Justice Gabriel Kolawole; President, National Industrial Court, Justice B. B Karnyip; the Chief Judges of Rivers, Edo, Cross River and Zamfara states as well as Justice Daniel Ayah, President, Bayelsa Customary Court of Appeal; and his counterparts in Rivers and Edo states.
He noted that Abiri was soft-spoken and humble but also had a personality that carried the full weight of the law, with a balanced approach to leadership. Okpoko said lawyers in the state attest to the fact that she exhibited the true qualities required of a judge while presiding over cases as well as in the administration of justice.
