Coker was born in Lagos, the son of George Baptist Coker.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 H.T. Oke Coker buried )〕 He was educated at Olowogbowo Wesleyan Primary School, Lagos from 1924 to 1928 and he then attended Methodist Boys High School, Lagos from 1929 to 1931, he finished his secondary education as one of the foundational students of Igbobi College. Thereafter, he worked briefly as a civil servant and later as a teacher. He later proceeded to London to earn a law degree and was called to the bar in 1947. He obtained a Ph.D in Law in 1955. Coker had a lucrative law practice in Lagos before he was appointed to the bench of Lagos State High Court in 1958.
In 1962, during a political crisis in the Western region of Nigeria, Coker was appointed by Moses Majekodunmi, the sole administrator of the region to chair a commission of enquiry into the affairs of some statutory corporations. The commission was viewed by some as an instrument to discredit the Awolowo faction of the Action Group.〔Diamond, L. J. (1988). Class, ethnicity, and democracy in Nigeria: The failure of the First Republic. Syracuse, N.Y: Syracuse University Press. P. 104〕 However, in the final report of the enquiry, it found Awolowo culpable in the diversion of regional funds to finance the Action Group but exonerated Akintola, which made it easier for the latter to be reinstated as Premier of the region.〔Falola, T., & Genova, A. (2009). Historical dictionary of Nigeria. Lanham, Md: Scarecrow Press. P.82〕 He became a justice of the Nigerian Supreme Court in 1964. At the apex court, Coker was notable for his judgements in stay of execution pending judgement cases. Two notable cases of the nature were Vaswani v Savalakh and Utilgas Nigerian And Overseas Gas Co. Ltd.v. Pan African Bank Ltd.〔Ogundere, J. D. (1994). The Nigerian judge and his court. Ibadan, University Press. P. 93〕
Coker was a member of the Methodist Church in Tinubu, Lagos.
