President Bola Tinubu has conveyed his profound grief at Prof. Kharisu Chukkol’s passing.

Karim’s father was a distinguished legal scholar and criminal law specialist who served as the immediate past acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

At the age of 79, he died on Sunday evening in Abuja.

Bayo Onanuga, Special Advisor to the President on Information and Strategy, revealed this in a statement on Monday.

Describing the late professor as a “towering figure in Nigerian legal scholarship,” the President lauded his immense contributions to legal education and practice in Nigeria, particularly through his work at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.

“A native of Mayo Belwa in Adamawa State, Professor Chukkol dedicated his professional life to teaching and advancing law at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.

“He specialized in criminal law and held various positions at ABU, including Dean of the Faculty of Law and Director of the Institute of Administration,” the President stated.

Highlighting his influence on generations of legal practitioners, Tinubu noted that the late Chukkol’s students include sitting justices of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, senior advocates, and Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, the current National Security Adviser.

He also praised Chukkol’s seminal 1988 book, Law of Crimes in Nigeria, which he described as “a cornerstone reference for legal practitioners and scholars.”

In addition to his academic legacy, Tinubu reflected on the professor’s influence through his family, particularly his son, Abdulkarim Chukkol, who served as the immediate past Acting Chairman of the EFCC.

Tinubu concluded his tribute with heartfelt prayers and words of comfort.

He wrote: “I urge the family, students, and all touched by Professor Chukkol’s life to find solace in his remarkable achievements and the enduring impact of his work. May Allah grant him eternal peace.”
