It’s the 1973/1974 session at the Nigerian Law School. One
exceptional young lady just bagged the coveted Richard Akinjide prize in Law of
Evidence. It’s only a first sign of the remarkable story that is to follow.
Fast-forward. Our heroine has gone on to have a long and illustrious legal
career, during which she added more than her fair share of merit awards to a
very impressive trophy cabinet. Lawyer, Judge, Jurist, Luminary… this wonder woman
matured not into any one of these alone, but all of them. Indeed, she is the
essence of Justice – the blindfolded lady holding a sword and scales come to
life. Let’s not forget that she’s honourable too. The Honourable Justice.
