According to a reliable source close to the family, Akogu, who had vowed not to sleep before the cross-over to 2018, was not sick, nor did he show any symptoms of ill health.

His wife, Mrs. Vicky Akogu, who confirmed the death, said the late judge and one-time Director of Public Prosecution in the state, was hale and hearty before his sudden death.

The late judge, in his late 50s, was until his death, handling the case of attempted assassination of Senator Dino Melaye.
