were hearing cases and other court activities were being carried out. The water was leaking directly from the roof, but visitors and lawyers passed through the lobby into court 3 of the High Court.
In April 2019, Governor Gboyega Oyeola ordered the rehabilitation of buildings, courtrooms and roads within the premises of the Osun State High Court Complex in Osogbo, the state capital. He described the judiciary as a “sacrosanct arm of government which requires adequate attention for greater development,” while inspecting the renovation at the Osun State High Court Complex.
Consequently, the Government House was moved to its permanent place in GRA, Oke-fia; the Governor’s House and the ministries were moved to Abeere, Osogbo while the l State House was also moved to its permanent place, along Abeere – the Magistrate courts were left at the Old Governor’s Office until former Governor, Rauf Aregbesola moved them to High Court complex in Oke-fia when he wanted to construct a modern market on the land.
A judicial worker in Iwo told this reporter that the electricity company cut their light due to unpaid debt. “It was like that for 10 years before Oluwo paid the debt and reconnected the light. He also put some furniture in the court because there was no seat in the court then. The dictionary we are using now was bought by a Magistrate”Among the three arms of government, executive, the legislative are enjoying bogus salaries.
There are 32 Magistrates in the state – four Deputy Court Registrar and Court Registrar — it was gathered that Aregbesola in 2013 during his administration replaced the official car given to the Magistrates in 2000-2005. A top source in the judiciary told this medium that the Magistrate is entitled to an official car and driver paid by the government. “All the Magistrates who entered the system since 2012 have not been given an official car or driver paid by the government.
Speaking on the official car, he said, “In 2013, Glgovernment replaced official cars of some Magistrate while most didn’t get. They were given an official plate number. One of the things that have to be taken care of is selection of high court judges — life as a Magistrate in Osun could not be compared to our colleagues in other states.
