Ekiti Chief Judge Escapes Death

 

Ekiti State Chief Judge, Justice Oyewole Adeyeye, escaped death on Wednesday when a section of the state high court complex collapsed on him while in office.

 

 

Justice Adeyeye is said to be currently receiving medical attention at an undisclosed hospital in the state.

 

 

 

Daily Trust gathered that the incident happened around the close of work on Wednesday. The judge was still in his chamber at the time of the collapse.

 

 

 

The incident may not be unconnected with the structural deficit worsened by the torrential rainfall.

 

No life was lost during the collapse but the Chief Judge reportedly sustained serious injury as a section of the office collapsed on him.

 

 

 

It took serious efforts from workers before the judge was rescued from the rubble.
