Former federal lawmaker for Degema/Bonny constituency, Dr Farah Dagogo, has eulogized the late head of his legal team, Cosmas Enweluzo, Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, hailing him as a “doyen of the legal profession whose wealth of experience will be deeply missed.”
Dagogo made the remarks on Friday at the Rivers State High Court in Port Harcourt during a Valedictory Court Session held in Enweluzo’s honour.
Recalling his relationship with the deceased, Dagogo recounted how Enweluzo, alongside other members of his legal team, successfully defended him and secured his acquittal from charges filed by the Rivers State Government in the lead-up to the 2023 elections, when he declared his intention to contest for the governorship on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP.
The former representative also commiserated with Enweluzo’s widow, Theresa, and their five children, urging them to find strength in the late SAN’s remarkable legacy.
“We are here to express our heartfelt condolences and respect to a modern day doyen and prince of the legal profession. Sir Cosmas Enweluzo lived a fulfilled and principled life dedicated to justice and the rule of law. He was also a remarkable family man and role model to his children.
“Sir Enweluzo was a legal colossus extraordinaire and prince of Nigerian legal profession who could provide satisfactory solutions to complex legal issues within the shortest time.
“His leadership and contributions to my legal team were invaluable. My personal engagement with him broadened my legal perspective and deepened my interest in the profession.
“His demise has created a yawning gap, not just for me but for all of us gathered here,” Dagogo added.
Enweluzo passed away on August 4, 2025, at the age of 59.
He is survived by his wife and five children.
