THE Nigerian Governors’ Forum, NGF, yesterday assured that issues surrounding the implementation of financial autonomy for the judiciary and legislature at the state level will be completed by May.
The assurance by the governors came just as lawyers in various states across the country staged peaceful protests yesterday to demand autonomy for the judiciary.
Chairman of the NGF, and governor of Ekiti State, Dr Kayode Fayemi, who led other governors and representatives of both the judiciary and legislature to a harmonisation meeting in the office of the Chief of Staff to the President, Professor Ibrahim Gambari, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, said all parties had reached an agreement on the way forward.

#EndSARS: Anambra lawyers say no to anarchy, destruction

By Chimaobi Nwaiwu – Nnewi
The Anambra State Branch of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, has said that it is not in support of anarchy and people going into the streets to destroy public and private properties, just as it does not support crime of any form.
It also urge the Federal Government to ensure that people who were arrested for any crime during the #EndSARS protest must be given their constitutionally guaranteed right to access to justice.
The Bar frowned at idea of arresting people and clamping them into detention, while investigation into their case are still ongoing, saying such is not what the law say.
