The Chief Judge of Ekiti State, Justice Oyewole Adeyeye, has reportedly passed away.
It was recalled that nearly a year ago, part of the High Court building in Ekiti State collapsed on the Chief Judge while he was in his office. Since his hospitalization and discharge, he has been battling with his health.
