Appliances such as Computers , printers , files , fans , air conditioners and other items were carted away by some hoodlums who made their way into the Igbosere High Court , Lagos Island on Wednesday .
A viral video also shows one of the thugs dressed in a judge ’s robe and wig , wielding a machete.
After looting the ‘temple of justice ’ the rioters set it on fire before fleeing.
A lawyer , identified as Yinka Aileru ,explained to newsmen that the loss of documents may not directly affect cases because the Lagos State judiciary had introduced e -filing .
According to him , “In Lagos State they introduced the concept of e -filing so all processes are also submitted in soft copy.
There is a section where soft copies are scanned . However , I don’t know if the server has been affected . ”
Scores of irate youths have in the last eight hours taken over several public buildings in Lagos Island ,the Palace of the Oba of Lagos inclusive.
The office of the Nigerian Ports Authority was also set ablaze while security officials have been unable to contain the situation.
Earlier this day , the family home of Governor Babajide Sanwo -Olu was set ablaze .
