Prof. Amos Utuama: Urhobo Has Lost A Legal Giant, Says Senator Dafinone 


 

 

The Senator representing Delta Central Senatorial District in the Nigerian Senate, Chief Ede Dafinone, has described the death of a former deputy governor of Delta State, Prof. Amos Agbe Utuama SAN, as a great loss to the Urhobo Nation and Nigeria.

 

Senator Dafinone, who commiserated with Urhobo Nation, Ughievwen Kingdom, and Utuama family over the death of the former Attorney General and commissioner for Justice, described Utuama as one of the brightest legal minds in Nigeria.

 

Utuama, a former deputy governor under the regime of former Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan, passed on in the early hours of Saturday at 77.

 

The Delta Central lawmaker in a press statement said, “It is with a deep sense of loss and sorrow that I, Senator Ede Dafinone, on behalf of Delta Central Senatorial District, extend my condolences to the Urhobo Nation, the Utuama family, and the people of Ughelli South over the passing of Prof. Amos Utuama (SAN), former Deputy Governor of Delta State.

“Prof. Utuama was an outstanding legal luminary and a cherished son of Urhobo land, leaving an indelible mark on our nation’s legal profession and public service. He was a revered law scholar, dedicated teacher, and a pillar in Delta State’s governance.

 

“The Urhobo Nation and the legal community at large have lost an invaluable intellect. Prof. Utuama’s intellectual prowess, sound judgment, and unyielding dedication to the ideals of justice and equality made him an irreplaceable figure. His contributions to the legal profession were not only profound but also transformative, influencing the lives of many who had the privilege of learning from him. His absence will be deeply felt across Delta State and the entire nation.

 

“While we mourn this great loss, we also take solace in the legacy he leaves behind—a legacy of dedication, integrity, and service. Prof. Utuama’s contributions to the Urhobo Nation and Delta State will continue to inspire future generations. His life was one of purpose, and his memory will serve as a beacon of hope and dedication for all who strive for excellence and justice.
