The remains of Chief Richard Akinjide (SAN) were interred in his estate at Jericho in Ibadan, Oyo State, yesterday.
A statement by his son, Abayomi Akinjide, said the late legal luminary was buried after a private funeral service at the Chapel of St. Peter The Rock, Jericho.
He said the burial was done in consultation with the Archbishop of Ibadan Anglican Communion and the government due to the prevailing global public health crisis.
