Members of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) stormed the Federal High Court Lagos shortly before 9 a.m today to enforce their indefinite nationwide strike.
Members of staff of the court who had arrived at their offices, some as early as 7 am were directed to pack up and leave the court premises.
The union members then went round to ensure that everyone had been evicted after which they sealed some of the offices and pasted notices indicating the commencement of strike action.
By a circular dated April 1, the national leadership of JUSUN had ordered the closure of courts across the country as from today, until the government complies with the provisions of the constitution, court judgments, and other instruments which confer or re-emphasise the financial autonomy of the Judiciary.

Judiciary workers will from Tuesday commence an indefinite strike to protest the non-implementation of financial autonomy for the judiciary.
While the federal government has allowed for financial autonomy of the third arm of government, state governments were however yet to give financial independence to states’ Judiciary.
Reacting to the refusal of states to implement the policy, the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) accordingly directed its members across the country to shut down courts nationwide beginning from Tuesday.
JUSUN had on March 13, 2021 issued a 21-day ultimatum to the government which elapsed on Sunday, April 4, 2021.
The strike, which was scheduled for Monday, was however shifted to Tuesday, April 6, 2021, owing to the Easter holiday.
