Federal high court judges, lawyers, litigants and others were unable to access the court on Monday following the commencement of a strike action by the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN).
Checks by newsmen at the Federal High Court (FHC) headquarters, located along Shehu Shagari Way in Abuja, revealed that all the entrance gates into the high-rise building were locked, making it impossible for Judges, staff, lawyers, litigants, and members of the public with business in the building to access it.
Recall that JUSUN national body had, on May 30, in a circular by its acting national secretary, M.J. Akwashiki, asked all its chapters’ chairmen to, effective from midnight Sunday, June 1, direct all their members to stay at home until their concerns were addressed.
