“A legal scholar of international repute, Omole earned his PhD in International Law and Security Sector Jurisprudence from the University of Buckingham in the United Kingdom.
“He served as a judge in the London Judicial Circuit, first in the Family Court and later in the Crown Court, while also lecturing law students in the UK.
“In Nigeria, Omole was appointed National Security Adviser to the Speaker of the 9th House of Representatives, playing a key role in reforming security laws and organising the National Assembly’s first National Security Summit in 2021.
