Chief judge of Kogi state, Nasir Ajanah, has reportedly died at the COVID-19 isolation centre in Gwagwalada, Abuja.

A member of the family confirmed his demise the on Sunday morning.

Ajanah death is coming less than two weeks after an aide to Yahaya Bello, the state governor, also died in an Abuja hospital.

Ajanah died a week after the passing of Ibrahim Shaibu Atadoga, the president of the Kogi customary court of appeal in Kogi state.

When contacted for comments, Mohammed Onogwu, chief press secretary to the governor, said only the family “will break the news of the death,”

Ajanah was born in 1956 to the family of MJ Fari Ajanah in Okene local government area.

He studied law at the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, and was called to the Nigerian bar as a barrister and solicitor of the supreme court.

Ajanah later set up his private firm, Nasiru Ajanah & Co in Okene, where he practised law between 1985 and 1989.
