Ekiti State Chief Judge, Justice Oyewole Adeyeye, on Wednesday, July 12, escaped death after a section of the state high court complex collapsed on him while in the office.
The incident happened around close of work on Wednesday. No life was lost during the collapse but the Chief Judge reportedly sustained serious injury.
It took significant efforts from office workers to rescue the judge from the rubble.
As of now, the cause of the incident has not been revealed, but sources suggest that it may be due to structural deficiencies in the building located on the State High Court premises.
Despite attempts to obtain information, the Registrar of the Judiciary and the spokesman of the Chief Justice failed to respond to inquiries made by journalists regarding the incident.
He is currently receiving medical attention at an undisclosed hospital in the state.
