Court proceedings at the Imo State High Court, Owerri, were disrupted on Friday as at least 20 lawyers raised concerns over the structural integrity of a three-story building within the court premises.
According to a report by The Nation, the affected building, allegedly constructed during the tenure of former Governor Rochas Okorocha, has structural defects, resulting in noticeable vibrations during court sessions.
The concerned lawyers halted proceedings, demanding that judicial activities be suspended until a safety assessment is conducted.
