In Nigeria’s emerging legal tech scene, two names are changing the narrative: Agbo Obinnaya and Anthonymark Ngwu, co-founders of Case Radar, a generative AI legal platform transforming access to law across the country.
Access to reliable legal guidance has long remained a challenge in Nigeria. Amid this gap, Obinnaya and Ngwu are reshaping how legal knowledge is delivered to professionals, students, and the public.
What sets both lawyers apart is not just their technical expertise, but a shared vision to redefine how legal knowledge is consumed, interpreted, and applied.
In this feature, Techparley’s Quadri Adejumo explores how Agbo Obinnanya and Anthonymark Ngwu are building Case Radar, a ChatGPT-style AI platform that provides Nigerian lawyers with instant access to legal guidance and court documents.
Meet Agbo Obinnaya
Agbo Obinnaya stands at the intersection of law, technology, and entrepreneurship. An alumnus of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Obinnaya served as the 26th Chief Justice of the Students’ Union Government (SUG), where he led initiatives impacting over 40,000 students.
During his tenure, he founded the Senior Advocate/Activist of NAU (SAN) SUG, enhancing student representation and legal awareness.
Professionally, Obinnaya has extensive experience in corporate law, blockchain, and tech solutions. He’s currently a Senior Legal Consultant at Bloomgoals Advisory, and has worked as an Associate at Black Halsburys L.P.
Beyond legal practice, he has also worked with top blockchain companies including Centralex, SWFT Blockchain, Hotbit, and CoinEx.
He founded The Entrepreneur-ish Africa, a business development and marketing agency focused on nurturing startups. Through the Entrepreneur-ish Masterclass, he has impacted over 400 young entrepreneurs across Africa, mentoring them to scale businesses in their industries.
“The real opportunity is in making the law as accessible as Google search, as reliable as your trusted lawyer, and as fast as AI, and that’s the future I’m working towards,” Obinnaya said, summarizing the vision behind Case Radar.
Currently, as Founder and CEO of Case Radar, Obinnaya is building a platform that provides instant legal interpretations, bridges knowledge gaps, and enables lawyers to scale their practices with AI-driven efficiency.
About Anthonymark Ngwu
Anthonymark Ngwu complements Obinnaya’s vision with a focus on technology law, artificial intelligence, and blockchain regulation. A graduate of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and the Nigerian Law School, Ngwu has honed his expertise in both legal practice and business development.
Before co-founding Case Radar, Ngwu gained experience as a legal associate at Vassalcrest Attorneys and legal advisor and director at vTrader Africa, focusing on fintech, AI, and blockchain compliance.
He also co-founded The Entrepreneur-ish Africa, overseeing operations and contributing to the growth of disruptive tech startups across the continent.
Ngwu brings a blend of legal acumen, operational leadership, and creative problem-solving to Case Radar, ensuring the platform meets both professional standards and user needs.
Why Case Radar Stands Out
Case Radar is a legal tech platform that leverages generative artificial intelligence to make Nigerian laws and court judgments instantly accessible.
While OpenAI’s ChatGPT can provide general legal advice, the founders of Case Radar argue that its knowledge is limited to information already available online. Case Radar, in contrast, is powered by digitized Nigerian court documents, many of which were previously inaccessible on the Internet.
Obinnaya acknowledges that ChatGPT remains a versatile and widely used tool, with over 400 million weekly users worldwide. Yet, for Nigerian legal information, he insists Case Radar is unmatched.
According to him, the platform is trained on thousands of court documents that simply do not exist elsewhere, making it a unique resource.
In under a year, Case Radar has grown to 1,400 users. According to the founders, the platform bridges the gap between complex legal information and practical understanding, providing users with legal research tools, and document analysis.
“Instead of just building a platform, we also decided to build communities,” Obinnaya said. “We realised that when people talk about the law, they feel fear. I think it’s because they don’t understand it.”
Signing up is simple: like ChatGPT, users create an account and start interacting. But it also goes further, the team says it also offers legal-specific tools such as document summarization, analysis, and a ‘find a lawyer’ option.
According to industry leaders, Obinnaya and Ngwu represent a new breed of innovators who merge legal and technological expertise. Their combined experience, experts say, positions Case Radar as a catalyst for democratizing access to legal knowledge in Nigeria and across Africa.
Talking Points
What stands out about Agbo Obinnaya and Anthonymark Ngwu is how they are positioning themselves as bridge-builders between law and technology. At a time when many African lawyers remain skeptical about AI, they are actively reframing it as an enabler rather than a threat.
Case Radar reflects this mindset. By training its engine on Nigerian court documents, the founders are tackling a long-standing gap: the difficulty of accessing judgments and legal precedents in a reliable, user-friendly way. It’s a bold attempt to give lawyers and students the same instant recall that AI has brought to other industries.
At Techparley, we see how their combined background makes the venture more than just a startup. It represents a generational shift: young Nigerian lawyers building the tools they wish they had while studying and practicing.
If they succeed more, the duo could emerge as standard-bearers for legal innovation in Africa, showing that with the right vision, Nigerian founders can build platforms as ambitious as ChatGPT, but tailored to local realities.
