Lawyers and litigants who came around were turned back as the entrance gates were locked.

Speaking JUSUN State Chairman, Mr Henry Ezeoke, said the indefinite strike was to protest non-adherence to an agreement reached between the group and the state government in 2011 and 2015.

“The action was as a result of the state government’s refusal to pay CONJUS as agreed upon in 2011 and 2015 respectively.

“The union earlier issued a 21-day ultimatum to the state government but it was ignored. We believe that downing tools is the only language the government will understand.

“Therefore, the strike will last indefinitely, until government meets the conditions and pending further directives by the union,” Ezeoke said.
