For the second time in four days, people
suspected to be political thugs on Thursday disrupted proceedings at the
Ekiti State High Court in Ado-Ekiti on Thursday.
A sitting judge, Justice John Adeyeye, was beaten up and his suit torn by the thugs.
The record book of the Chief Judge,
Justice Ayodeji Daramola, was also torn into pieces by the thugs who
also disrupted proceedings at the state Election Petitions Tribunal.
The tribunal sits on the high court premises in Ado-Ekiti.
The tension in the court forced Daramola to order the immediate closure of all the state high courts.
It was gathered that Adeyeye, who was
presiding over a case that had nothing to do with the last Ekiti
governorship election, courted trouble when he called on the
Governor-elect, Ayo Fayose, to caution the people following him to the
tribunal.
