Ayeni sta...

The evacuation of lawyers and court staff from a courthouse in Imo State raises significant concerns about the safety and integrity of judicial infrastructure in the region. Such incidents not only disrupt the administration of justice but also highlight potential lapses in building maintenance, security protocols, or other safety measures.

This event might prompt local and national authorities to assess the structural conditions of judicial buildings, implement stricter safety regulations, and allocate resources towards upgrading facilities. It's also a stark reminder of the broader issues facing public infrastructure in certain areas, where neglect or insufficient...
