The PRO of the state High Court, Mr Saqeeb Saeed disclosed this on Thursday.
He said a judge of the court, Justice Moses Gwatana, had sat and adjourned the case of kidnap and robbery against the accused, Abdulrazak Nasiru, who was ordered to be remanded in prison custody.
The accused was released to the prison officer for custody at the Okene Medium Security Prison in the official pick-up van of the Nigeria Prisons Service meant for the purpose.
Saeed said before they could take off, the robbers, numbering between 10 and 12, who had been lurking in a primary school near the court, stormed the court premises, wielding weapons and shooting indiscriminately.
It was gathered that though the judge escaped unhurt, his official KIA Sorento Jeep was sprayed with bullets, but the court registrar, Mr Bakare Sunday, was not so lucky, as he was shot in the ear.
