The power
outage which affected some courtrooms within the Ikeja High Court Complex on last
Thursday forced two judges to conduct proceedings using torchlights, reports NaijaAgroNet.
The News
Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the court, following persistent cuts in
public power supply, had relied solely on two generating sets.
One of the
generators supplying power to over 10 of the courtrooms in the new court
complex, however, developed a fault on Thursday morning.
The
development forced several courts to adjourn their cases listed for hearing.
However, two
of the judges, Justices Adeniyi Onigbanjo and Kudirat Jose, opted to use
torchlights, which were made available by their registrars.
Some of the
lawyers who appeared before them also resorted to using the dim lights
emanating from their mobile phones to read their pleadings.
