The Judiciary Staff Union in Osun State shut down the entrance to the Osun State High Court in Osogbo in protest of its members’ poor welfare.
On Monday, a large number of workers protested against the Chief Judge, Adepele Ojo, and the management of the judiciary’s activities in the state.
The protesting workers, led by Mr. Gbenga Eludire, prevented movement into the premises.
The aggrieved workers were seen carrying placards with inscriptions such as ‘Judiciary staff deserves better,’ ‘We are tired of oppression and stagnation,’ and ‘Unlawful suspension of judicial staff without recourse to the Judicial Service Commission is barbaric,’ among others.
They also accused Ojo of refusing to pay the wardrobe allowances of workers in the last three years.
