As a postgraduate student, Omololu volunteered for Citizens Advise Bureau, Swansea and still maintains links to them. After obtaining a masters degree in the UK, Omololu enrolled with the Honourable Society of the Inner Temple as a student member and was called to the English Bar in 2011 after completing the Bar Transfer Test. He undertook his pupillage in one of the leading set of chambers before joining Holborn Chambers in October 2013.
