A cross-section of lawyers in Ekiti has decried the long “stay out of court” due to the strike embarked upon by members of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN). xThe lawyers said the strike has caused pending cases in various courts in the state. One of the lawyers, Mrs Kehinde Omogbemigun, said that the JUSUN strike has affected her pending cases at the Customary Court in Ado-Ekiti. She cited a dissolution of marriage pending before the court since 2020, but already slated for judgment, which the strike has affected. Another traditional Chief, Mr Kayode Agunbiade, said the strike has affected the community, saying reports of criminal acts have been rampant in the community.
