#FayoseSlap: Ekiti judiciary grinds to a halt

by Godwin Akanfe

The Ekiti state Chief Judge, Ayodeji Daramola, has ordered the immediate closure of all state courts after a crowd attacked Justice John Adeyeye, beating him up and ripping his clothes for being allegedly rude to Mr. Fayose. Justice Daramola ordered that all state courts remain closed until adequate security measures for the protection of the judiciary are in place, according the Chief Registrar, Obafemi Fasanmi.

“The chief judge has noted with increasing concern the spate of attacks perpetrated by political thugs and their persistent presence in the premises of the high court Ado Ekiti in the past few days,” Fasanmi said.ByZYhsYIgAAa3xh

Today’s attack was the second this week after another court in Ado Ekiti was attacked on Monday and the judge, O. Ogunyemi barely escaped and was ferried to safety by police after he was threatened. Fasanmi added that police officers who were at the court on Thursday did nothing to stop the second attack.

“On Thursday, another set of thugs invaded the premises of a court presided over by J.O Adedeye by beating up and tearing his suit while police on guard looked unconcerned and uninterested as judges, magistrates, and other members of staff had to run for their lives while court properties were damaged.

“The court room of the Hon. Chief Judge was not spared the orgy in the orgy of assault and destruction as members of staff attached to his office were beaten up and his court record book torn into pieces by these political thugs who also invaded and disrupted proceedings at the election petition tribunal within the High Court premises in Ado Ekiti,” Fasanmi added.
