The Governor
of Delta State, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa has commiserated with the family of
Omo-Agege of Orhomuru-Orogun in Ughelli North Local Government Area over the
death of their patriarch, Hon. Chief Justice James Omo-Agege, the second Chief
Judge of Delta State.
Okowa, in a condolence message by his Chief Press Secretary,
Charles Aniagwu, described late Justice Omo-Agege as a fearless judge who as
Chairman of the Bendel State Armed Robbery & Firearms Tribunal found the
dreaded Anini and his gang members guilty of conspiracy and armed robbery and
sentenced them to death by firing squad.
The governor said that the Late Chief Judge would be missed by
all whose lives he had touched in many ways in his "very fulfilled and
achievements-laden life.”
"On behalf of the government and people of Delta, I mourn
the exit of a legend, a legal titan, former Chief Judge of Delta State, and
Pioneer Chairman of the Delta State Independent Electoral Commission, (DSIEC),
Hon. Chief Justice James Omo-Agege.
"Justice Omoagege's life-long dedication and indefatigable
commitment to serving the people of the state will be missed.
The governor joined the Omo-Agege’s family, friends, associates,
especially the Senator Representing Delta Central Senatorial District, Senator
Ovie Omo-Agege in mourning the late Octogenarian, former Chief Judge of the
State, assuring the family that their late patriarch would always be
celebrated.
"He will be honoured by his proud countrymen and women for
his unblemished service and exemplary career which had inspired others to take
up a career in the judiciary.”
