Inna lillahi wa-Inna ilayhi raji’un

I join the legal community and NBA Sokoto Branch to mourn the loss of Mr. Inuwa Abdul-Kadir whom death snatched away in the early hours of Monday, 6th of July 2020 at the Usmanu Danfodio University Teaching Hospital, Sokoto.

No word is enough to describe the legal giant, life-bencher , former Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Sokoto State.

Mr. INUWA was before his death the Chairman, Nigerian Forum of the African Bar Association and Life Member, Council of African Bar Association [AFBA]; he was a quintessential barman, an epitome of Justice and a fine legal Practitioner who contributed immensely to the legal profession and the Nigerian Justice system as a whole.

No word is enough to describe the political maverick who was a one-time Honorable Minister of Youth and Sports, frontline politician ,former Vice Chairman of North-West of Nigeria’s ruling All Progressives Congress [APC] and until his death tbe Chairman and Pro-Chancellor of Sokoto State University.

He was a humble, dedicated and committed Muslim ; he served Islam with utmost commitment , dedication and humanity. He was up until his death the Magatakarda Babba [Chief Scribe] of the Sokoto Sultanate.

“A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on by ” J.F.Kennedy.

Mr. INUWA may be dead but his ideas and legacies lives on, his death is indeed an irreplaceable loss.

My prayers are with the family of this late humanist, May Allah grant him Aljanat Firdaus.
