The death of Hon Jus Muhammed Akanbi, is a great loss to Nigeria, to the judiciary and to the legal profession in general.
Justice Akanbi was the founding Chairman of the ICPC, which he nurtured and brought to its present enviable position as one of the foremost anti-corruption agencies in Nigeria.
Justice Akanbi is an incorrigible and incorruptible jurist, a family man and a devout Muslim, who brought to bear his knowledge and experience, upon all that he does.
His son, Prof Akanbi, was my classmate in the university and in the law school and he eschewed great humility and decorum, even when Justice Akanbi was then the President of the Court of Appeal. It was difficult to differentiate his children from the lot in school. They very very humble and respectful, even till now.
Nigeria will certainly miss this legal icon.
I pray that God will comfort his family and Nigeria at large.
Adiue, the true Papa of anti-corruption.
