“Sadly, many will remember him for the bizarre Sen. Lawan’s judgment. I will remember him for Ihedioha’s judgment and his many cerebral judgments on the bench and his brilliant academic contributions to law.
“His death at this time is quite inauspicious and disturbing. May God forgive his sins and grant him mercy.”
