Recently retired justice of the Nigerian Supreme Court, Hon Justice Bode Rhodes-Vivour is a man of destiny. Apart from coming from a background that is known for producing superior judges in generations before him, he is a specially blessed man.
In 1975, he joined the Lagos State Judiciary as State Counsel and later rose to the position of Director of Public Prosecutions in 1989. He held this position for five years before he was appointed as High Court Judge in 1994 and after eleven years of services in the Judiciary, he was appointed to the bench of the Nigerian courts of appeal as Justice in 2005.
On August 2010, he was appointed to the bench of the Supreme Court of Nigeria as Justice, along with Justice Suleiman Galadima.
He retired from the Nigerian Supreme Court on March 22, 2021.
