For the Family.
Called to the bar in 1978, Justice Agbo was appointed as a member of the Court of Appeal in 2005.
In December 2022, the former Governor of Enugu State, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi named the Multi-Door Courthouse after the jurist who hails from the Southeastern State.
Billed to retire in October shortly after the resumption of the Courts from vacation at age 70, the Presiding Justice of the Calabar Division of the Court of Appeal, Hon. Justice Raphael Chikwe Agbo died on Tuesday, 3rd july 2023 at 70.
Until his death, He was the second most senior Justice of the Court of Appeal after its President, Hon. Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem. This means Justice Jimi Bada who presides over the Lagos Division of the Court will move to Number 2 while Justice Oyebisi Omoyele who is also of the Calabar Division will be the third most Senior.
His last known major judicial activity was about a fortnight ago when his panel upheld the conviction of the Akwa Ibom State guber Candidate of the Young Progressives Party, Senator Bassey Akpan for fraud but also offering him an option of a fine.
