There are very few Nigerian leaders who when they die, I will feel sad. Justice Oputa's death makes me feel sad. I never met the man but I remember the Oputa panel and his priceless experience in jurisprudence. May his soul rest in peace and may God give the Oputa family the will to bear the loss of such a great man

OUR LORD DENNING IS GONE. My heart goes out to the family of Oputa at this moment of grief, the demise of Oputa JSC is a big loss for both the family and Nigeria, and the lacuna his demise has left in the judiciary can never be filled my another. He was a scholar and his judgments spoke volumes of his knowledge and sound reasonings. He was a man that every lawyer; from school days looked up to, because in his reasonings lies wisdom, knowledge and the Law. Go well My Lord Justice Oputa, your footprints will forever remain engraved and indelible in the sand of history.

Linda, d correct terminology is former justice of d supreme court not former judge of d suprrme court. We say Judge of d high court, but justice of d court of appeal and also justice of d supreme court.
