Health precautions have been reinforced at the Federal High Court in Lagos following news of the death of a judge of the court’s Abeokuta Division.

Our correspondent learnt that Justice Ibrahim Watilat, 58, died of an undisclosed ailment.

He was said to have passed on around 4am on Monday, January 25, 2021, in an Abuja hospital.

Last Tuesday, the judge convicted and sentenced two internet fraudsters to six months and four months imprisonment respectively.

He found the duo guilty of criminal impersonation filed separately against them by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibadan Zonal Office.
