in 1955, a year before western nigeria became internally self-governing, sir adetokunbo was appointed chief justice for western nigeria, thus becoming the first nigerian head of the judiciary anywhere in the country. his string of 'firsts' continued when, three years later, he became the first nigerian chief justice of the entire federation of nigeria. as chief justice, he played the role of peacemaker in two political events in the country. in 1964, after the stalemate of national elections, nnamdi azikiwe, the president, refused to call any party to form a government until the intervention of sir louis mbanefo, the chief justice of the eastern region and ademola. he later went on to play a calming role in the aftermath of the 1966 coup when some northern officers wanted to secede from the country.
