Aminu Waziri Tambuwal has described the late former Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Dahiru Musdapher, as a jurists’ jurist.
“He was jurist’s jurist. He was a man of distinction and impeccable character. His life is an example in dedication and commitment to legal ethos, norms and values.
“In work or in retirement, Justice Musdapher exemplified all that was good and commendable about the legal profession. In the service of truth, justice and fairness, he made his mark.
