Scores of hoodlums made their way into the Igbosere High Court, Lagos Island on Wednesday, carting away computers, printers, files, fans, air conditioners and other items.
A viral video also shows one of the thugs dressed in a judge’s robe and wig, wielding a machete.
After looting the ‘temple of justice’ the rioters set it on fire before fleeing.
A lawyer, Yinka Aileru, explained to The PUNCH that the loss of documents may not directly affect cases because the Lagos State judiciary had introduced e-filing.
