Hoodlums set Osun High Court on fire

Some yet to be identified hoodlums on Monday morning stormed the premises of the Osun State High Court in Ilesa and set part of the court ablaze.

The Punch gathered that the hoodlums invaded the court around 6am and set ablaze the Court 2, which is one of the  courts handling some sensitive cases.

Sources at the court said the hoodlums also wet the registry of the court with petrol but left without torching that section.

A source, who pleaded anonymity said the files and the books on the Court 2 chamber were completely burnt.

The source said, ” The hoodlums came very early and burnt down Court 2. They burnt everything inside the chamber and left.

“There is no adequate security at the court and I think that is why they were able to perpetrate the act without and resistance.”
