The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria, Anambra State Chapter today, commenced an indefinite strike over the refusal by the state government to pay the Consolidated Judiciary Salary Structure.
Reports have it that the High Courts at Ekwueme Square, Chief Magistrate’s Courts and Customary Courts in Amawbia, Awka, had no court proceedings.
There were no magistrates, judges or staff seen around the court premises except for security personnel on duty.
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 union earlier issued a 21-day ultimatum to the state government but it was ignored.
Ezeoke said that they believe that downing tools is the only language the government will understand.
