The courtroom registry, according to NAN, was also opened and individuals were observed filing and getting documents including affidavits stamped.The holding cell of the courthouse was empty because inmates were not brought in from the correctional centers for trial.
Some courtroom staff members were observed standing in clusters and having conversations, while some others were sitting and working at their desks. “Hopefully by next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the courts here will resume fully,” the source said.Reacting to the reported reopening of the courts in Lagos State on Thursday, the national body of the union, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Koin Selepreye, urged its members in the Lagos State chapter to ignore the directive for a part suspension of the strike.
To emphasise that the strike was still nationwide, Ms Selepreye, wrote in block letters, “THE STRIKE IS STILL VERY MUCH ON UNTIL WE REACH A CONCLUSION.” “In fact, he told us that he was sick and had been on hospital admission. He said he was only asked to go home to today to continue his bed rest,” Mr Musa said.In what appeared to be an indication that the strike, which has already been on for 24 days, will not be resolved soon, Mr Musa told this newspaper on Thursday that no new date has been fixed for a conciliatory meeting with government representatives.
