His Excellency Judge Charles Dadi Onyeama...a rubric name that glisters in the black pantheon of judicial legend!... As the first Nigerian Judge to serve at the International Court of Justice, The Hague, Holland, Judge Onyeama was acknowledged worldwide “as one that elevated contemporary international law to great heights”. In his esteemed status as “one of the most fearless Judges that this country has produced” lay his enduring acclaim. His accolade as “clearly one of the defining personalities of the Judiciary” also reflected his disposition to unimpeachable integrity. He must be the best-known ‘unknown’ jurist ever to serve his country. ‘Unknown’? But surely! Outside the pot-pourri of perpetual media spotlight, outside the hallowed halls of justice, outside the drama of courtroom battles at The Bar and on The Bench, Judge Onyeama has remained essentially an enigma, an unknown quantity. No real effort has ever been embarked on to put a human face to this revered lawman. Now, in this in-depth story of Judge Onyeama’s career, his son Dillibe offers the world an intimate and penetrating insight into the man as well as the legend behind the personage of this exceptional human being. The reader will be as riveted by the Midas scale of Judge Onyeama’s human touch as his masterful handling of the most complex cases both at The Bar and on The Bench.
