Osun judiciary workers picket Chief Judge’s office

The Osun State chapter of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria, JUSUN, has picketed the office of the State Chief Justice.

The action by the Osun JUSUN, newsmen gathered, is in solidarity with some of their members whom they alleged have suffered various forms of persecution under the embattled Chief Judge, Justice Oyebola Adepele Ojo.

The Chairman, Osun JUSUN, Oluwagbemiga Olakunle Eludire, while speaking with journalists on Monday at the premises of the Osun State High Court which houses the office of the Chief Judge, added that their agitations were quite separate from the actions of the state government.

Eludire said their action was because, “We demanded from Justice Ojo why our wardrobe allowance from 2021 till date has not been released despite funding by the state government.

“We want to know why the government directive on promotion and advancement made available by the Osun government was not used for the purpose approved for.

“We want to know why notable JUSUN members were unlawfully suspended without proper investigation against public service rules.

“We will not back down until appropriate action is taken on the matter.”
