According to eyewitness, the roof of the courtroom suddenly collapsed as some people at the scene, including lawyers, litigants and court staff, rushed to safety.
The cause of the sudden collapse is not yet established but some present at the scene have attributed it to the dilapidated structure of the Court room.
Some Legal Practitioners who witnessed the incident said the building was renovated three years ago “but was not done properly”.
They say the building has been leaking since after the renovation, exposing the structure to rain and wind.
