Leaders of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), FCT Chapter in conjunction with civil society group, One Love Foundation, today embarked on a protest to the National Assembly in solidarity with Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN), who are on strike to demand for judicial independence in Nigeria.
Reacting on behalf of One Love Foundation, popular human rights lawyer and representative of One Love Foundation, Barr. Samuel Ihensekhien jnr, stated that the federal government of Nigeria under President Muhammadu Buhari alongside the 36 states as matter of urgency must immediately implement the demand for the financial autonomy for the judiciary.
According to him, “It is a symbolic exercise to give teeth to their strike which began on April 6.
“JUSUN’s cause is right, in fact unimpeachable as it is in line with laid down extant laws and the 2014 Federal High Court judgment for independence of the Judiciary.”
