The efforts of lawyers handling the matter of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Oyo State to file a motion stopping the state from holding local government election in the state on Saturday was frustrated on Thursday by striking members of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) who picketed the court and refused to allow anyone enter.
The JUSUN members locked everyone out in continuation of the strike and compliance with the instructions of its national body.
Nigerian Tribune reports that this is the first time that the union will embark on total compliance with strike action by locking out the Deputy Chief Registrar as well as Administrative judge who had never been locked out since the strike began.
