“Late Ocholi was a pragmatic, dynamic, humane and brilliant law officer who was known around the world for his dexterous approach to legal and political issues and one of the most unswerving constitutional lawyers Nigeria has ever produced,’’ the governor said.

However, the statement said the three days State mourning doesn't mean three days holiday for civil servants. Everyone is expected to go to work but mourn the demise of one of Kogi's most illustrious and distinguished.
