Dr. Theophilus Aimiebenomon was born to David Esabu Aimiebenomon and Mrs. Margaret Aimiebenomon, both of whom are now deceased. His father, Honourable David Aimiebenomon, was a prominent political figure, a founding member of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), and a former member of the Edo State House of Assembly under the Social Democratic Party (SDP) during the tenure of former Governor John Odigie Oyegun. He served as the Majority Leader of the House until the military takeover by Sani Abacha in 1993. From his father, Theophilus learned courage and gained insights into the intricacies of Nigerian politics. His mother instilled in him a sense of discipline, which became a cornerstone of his character.

Theophilus began his educational journey at Auntie Mary Junior School in Ewohimi, where he studied from 1987 to 1992. He then attended Boys Model Secondary School (later renamed St. David's Boys Model Secondary School) in Evboneka from 1992 to 1997. Under the mentorship of the late R.E.M. Ohiomokhare, a renowned educator, Theophilus developed a strong work ethic and an "I can do it" mentality. He excelled academically, graduating in 1997 with seven distinctions out of eight subjects, primarily in the sciences.

In 2000, Theophilus gained admission to Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, to study medicine. His academic journey was prolonged due to recurrent industrial actions by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and a one-year closure of the university by the state government. Despite these challenges, he persevered and graduated from medical school in 2009. Tragically, during his final year, his father was brutally murdered in 2008 by a notorious figure in the Ewohimi community. This loss profoundly impacted Theophilus, but he remained focused and passed his final exams shortly afterward.
