He served his country with passion and dedication. A very senior Judge of the Court of Appeal, Nigeria’s second highest Court, he was a brilliant non- controversial Judge.
He was billed to retire on October 21, 2023. On that day, he was set to be celebrated and seen off the Bench to enjoy a more quiet life in retirement.
But the Honourable Justice Raphael Agbo did not wait.
On Monday, July 3, 2023, he quietly exited mother-earth. He passed on, and left broken-hearted, his family, colleagues and friends who had been preparing to celebrate his glorious exit from the Bench on October 21.
A native of Enugu State, he was called to the Bar in 1978. After a successful practice on the Bar, he joined the Bench.
The Honourable Justice Agbo was elevated to the Court of Appeal in 2005.
Among other honours he garnered in his distinguished career, the immediate past Governor of Enugu State, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, just before he left office on May 29, 2023, named the Enugu State Multi- Door Court House after him.
