According to the statement, the Special Court Session will be presided over by the Chief Justice of Nigeria , Hon. Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, who will customarily pay tribute to Justice Dattijo alongside other major stakeholders in the nation’s justice sector.Justice Dattijo earned a well-deserved elevation to the Court of Appeal on November 21, 1998 from the Niger State Judiciary, and served meritoriously at different Divisions of the appellate court.

His ascension to the Court of Appeal was more of a reward for hard work, inherent passion for his chosen profession, dedication to duty, and above all, a resolute application of the law in its true letters and words to all cases that came to him.“With the retirement of Justice Musa Dattijo Muhammad, the Supreme Court of Nigeria is now left with 10 Justices,” the statement said.
