Our History

The Osun State Judiciary emerged with the creation of Osun State on 27th August, 1991 by the then Military President, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida.

Osun State was carved out of the 'old' Oyo State, and the State Judiciary successfully detached itself from that of Oyo State when the then Acting Chief Judge of Oyo State, Hon. Justice Akin Apara, led 10 other Hon. Judges (who were indigenes of Osun State) from Oyo State to pioneer the Judiciary of the 'new' Osun State.  Read More
