The legal body, in a statement that was signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Akorede Habeeb Lawal, disclosed that the “unfortunate incident” occurred last Wednesday.

NBA lamented that the incident exposed to the level of infrastructural decay in the judiciary.

“Mr. Maikyau who has since been engaging the leadership of the Bar and the Judiciary in Ekiti State over this incident, has expressed his delight that his lordship is responding to treatment and he has extended the gratitude of the NBA to the doctors, nurses and other staff of ABUAD Multi-system Hospital, Ado Ekiti, where his lordship is presently being tended to.
