He was appointed a judge of the High Court of Justice, Delta State in 1998, and elevated to the Court of Appeal in 2010. While on the Court of Appeal Court bench, he served in Enugu, Lagos and Benin divisions of the court before his elevation to the apex court last year.

He was among the eight Justices of the Court of Appeal elevated to the Supreme Court bench in November 2020. And sworn in to the apex court bench by the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Muhammad, on November 6, 2020.

Justice Oseji, who is married with children, has been serving in that capacity until his death on Tuesday.
