Ajibola mourns Pa Jimoh

A former judge of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), Prince Bola Ajibola, has described the life of Alhaji Jimoh Odugbayi as a dedication to the service of Allah.

The late Pa Jimoh died last Saturday at the age of 117. He has been buried according to Islamic rites.

Ajibola said: “Pa Jimoh would be missed for his piety, dedication to God and his words of wisdom.

Pa Jimoh was a member of the Islamic Mission for Africa (IMA) and a friend of Crescent University, Abeokuta.”

Ajibola, who recounted Pa Jimoh’s life as worthy of emulation, noted that “even at his 114th birthday, he honoured our university with his esteemed presence at a Special Jumaat Service in 2016, and prayed for growth, success and longevity of our university and its founder.”

The former attorney-general and minister of Justice prayed God to forgive his sins and grant him paradise.
