Judges, Lawyers Flee Imo State High Court Over Fears Of Collapse by Infoguy666(op): 2:17pm On Jan 31, 2025
Lawyers and judges in Imo State have vacated the Justice Chukwudifu Oputa building of the state high court due to fears of an imminent collapse, News360 Nigeria reports.

Speaking at the court premises on Friday, Chris Ihentuge, Chairman of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), Owerri Branch, revealed reports of the building vibrating during court sessions prompted the decision.

Ihentuge stated that he had informed Governor Hope Uzodimma two weeks earlier about the building’s deteriorating state. The governor reportedly promised to send engineers for an inspection.

Concerns over structural defects were raised during the building’s construction but were never addressed, Ihentuge noted. As a precaution, court sessions are suspended for one week to allow experts to assess the building’s safety.

“We cannot continue to risk our lives. One week will not kill us,” Ihentuge declared.

He also urged the state government to appoint a Chief Judge, lamenting that the position has been vacant for three months.

Rochas Okorocha just littered the entire state with substandard projects. Just a few years after the end of his administration, all his key projects have collapsed.

Not holding brief for anybody, but, was the building constructed by Rochas?

Lagos na big man na. Nobody will cry or shown any concern if an unpopular person dies. But when big man die, it will send shockwaves beyond the neighbourhood.

Engineers or companies who handled such projects should be held accountable including the supervising authority who was supposed to be sure the building met the required standards.

Hopefully it is money exchanging hands that made them to confirm okay the building at the expense of people's safety.

A building named after one of the best Justice under ruin. Justice Oputa, yet no noise from Charlie boy, Obi or any obidients. The double standard is too much

This is a state, a certain Billionaire claimed to have invested massively in projects for 8 years...!


It's an amazing thing that Cockroach Okorocha is still walking around freely.

Meanwhile, his bleaching successor is into his second term without any serious improvements.
