Ekiti State Chief Judge, Justice Oyewole Adeyeye, on Wednesday escaped death, when a section of the state high court complex collapsed on him while in the office.
Reports say the incident happened after close of work and the Chief Judge was still in his chamber.
According to the reports, the incident may not be unconnected with structural deficit in the building 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 efforts from workers before the judge was rescued from the rubble.
A visit to the Registrar office to get further details did not yield result as the registrar through a staff member asked journalists to return later.
Justice Adeyeye is said to be currently receiving medical attention at an undisclosed hospital in the state.
