Date: 2025-04-25

The Chief Judge of Kwara State, Hon. Justice Abiodun Ayodele Adebara, has laid the foundation for a new High Court building and Oath Office in Ajase-Ipo, Irepodun Local Government Area (LGA), Kwara State.

The project, spearheaded by HRM Oba (Barr.) Ismail Yahaya Atoloye Alebiosu-Olupo of Ajase-Ipo, Chairman of the Irepodun LGA Traditional Council, and Chairman of the Igbomina/Ekiti Traditional Rulers Forum-is being constructed on four plots of land. The initiative reflects Olupo's commitment to advancing community development and legal infrastructure.

During a site tour for the Chief Judge and other judicial officials, Olupo, a practising lawyer, explained that the project was driven by a desire to support his constituency and the legal profession. The construction, currently at the Damp Proof Course (DPC) stage, aims to improve access to justice by establishing an additional judicial division in Irepodun, alongside the existing Omu-Aran division.

The monarch stated that the new court facility will provide a conducive environment for judicial proceedings and accelerate case resolution in the state. He expressed gratitude to Hon. Justice Adebara, his former professor at the Faculty of Law, University of Ilorin, for his mentorship and support throughout the project.

He also charged residents and citizens of Ajase-Ipo to protect all the government properties in the town, including the ongoing Divisional Police Station and the High Court building.

In his goodwill message, the Chief Judge of Kwara State, Hon. Justice Abiodun Ayodele Adebara commended the Olupo for his commitment to the growth and development of the community. He noted that the project demonstrates the monarch's dedication to building a community with access to justice.

"What we have gathered to witness this afternoon is not just about the erection of blocks of court building from where those who work in the temple of justice can perform their day to day activities. The Olupo is realizing the vision of establishing a center for justice administration within the state, which will possess enhanced functionality and appeal.

This project he has embarked on is in line with our vision of creating robust channels for the speedy dispensation of justice in Kwara and we are grateful to Kabiyesi for the gift of this historic edifice," Justice Adebara stated.

The Chief Judge, Justice Adebara was accompanied by the High Court Judge covering Omu-Aran Division, Hon. Justice Moses Olalekan Adegbite, as well as Hon. Justice Oluwatosin Adenike Adeniyi; Hon. Justice Yusuf Adebayo Dikko; Chief Registrar of the High Court, Magistrate Kudirat Ambali Yahaya; DCR (Admin), Magistrate Bio Saliu; Head of High Court Oath Office, Mrs. Nike Lambo-Shiru; and Protocol Officer, Mr. John Jide Ogundele among others.

In his closing remarks, the Olomu of Omu-Aran, Oba Abdulraheem Oladele Adeoti, commended the Olupo for his remarkable initiative in constructing a High Court, among other various projects he is undertaking within the community. He also extolled the Chief Judge, Justice Adebara, for facilitating an efficient judicial system within the state that aligns with the demands of 21st-century judicial service delivery.

The ceremony was well-attended by Royal Fathers from Irepodun LGA; security personnel including the DPO, Unit Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Divisional Officer (DO) of the NSCDC, Esikin-Ode of Omu-Aran among others who witnessed the laying of blocks for the new High Court building.
