“The death of His Lordship, Justice Chukwudumebi Oseji, an illustrious son of Aniocha North Local Government Area, in Delta state is sad and devastating.

“We have lost a great son and brother, who gave himself to the development of jurisprudence in Nigeria.

“I sincerely convey my heartfelt condolences to his beloved wife, Dr. (Mrs) Minne Oseji, the Oseji family of Idumuji-Unor and indeed the people of Aniocha North Local Government Area for this irreparable loss.
