The Auchi Magistrates’ Court 1 building in Auchi, headquarters of the Etsako-West Local Government Area of Edo State has collapsed following a heavy rainstorm on Wednesday.
A Correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria who visited the court on Thursday reports that the rainstorm also destroyed property worth several thousands of Naira in other parts of the town.
The Magistrates Court had been in a dilapidated state for the past three years as judicial officers find it difficult to carry out their duties at the premises. The court’s Assistant Chief Registrar, Benjamin Iteghie, expressed shock over the incident and appealed to the state government for help.
