Ahmad Olanrewaju Belgore, a former Justice of the Court of Appeal, passed away.
Kamaldeen Gambari, the Chairman of the Nigeria Bar Association’s Ilorin Branch in Kwara State, made his passing public on Tuesday.
“Information reaching me now indicates that Hon. Justice Ahmad Olarewaju Belgore, PCJA (retd.) is dead. May Allah forgive his shortcomings,” Gambari said in a social media post, as reported by Leadership Newspaper.
The publication mentioned a social media post, but we couldn’t find it. On April 18, 2023, Belgore became a retired Justice of the Court of Appeal after reaching the age of 70.
The Ilorin Emirate and the country as a whole have suffered a great loss with the passing of Justice Belgore, according to a condolence statement sent by Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, the Chairman of the Kwara State Traditional Rulers Council and the Emir of Ilorin.
The Emir, in a statement by his spokesman, Abdulazeez Arowona, said, “This is a great and colossal loss that has befallen the Ilorin Emirate and humanity at large.
“It is with shock that I received the news of the demise of Justice Ahmad Belgore. He was a complete gentleman, a thorough judicial officer who served the nation meritoriously in various capacities, nationally and internationally.
“He was one of the finest justices that the Ilorin Emirate has ever produced. He contributed in no small measures to the growth and development of the judiciary and humanity in general.
The Emir commiserated with the immediate and extended family members of the deceased as well as the entire people of Ilorin and Nigerians in general.
