BREAKING: Judicial workers call off strike, to resume work Monday

The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN), on Wednesday, suspended its strike.

The union is set to commence work on Monday.

JUSUN had in April embarked on an indefinite nationwide strike in protest against the denial of the judiciary its constitutionally guaranteed financial autonomy, which was also affirmed by a Federal High Court judgment in January 2014.

Part of the effect of the strike is that suspects who ordinarily should not spend more than 48 hours in custody are being detained indefinitely.
