Osun State judiciary workers have declared an indefinite strike.
Policemen, on Wednesday, dispersed protesting workers, who gathered in front of the Osun State High Court, Osogbo, tear-gassing them together with journalists.
The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN), on Monday, locked the entrance of the court and picketed the office of the Chief Judge in protest against Justice Oyebola Adepele-Ojo and the management on the activities of the judiciary in the State.
However, on Wednesday, Adepele-Ojo drove into the court with security personnel and went straight to her office, a situation, which was said to have caused chaos.
Reports say on sighting the Chief Judge, the workers got infuriated and insisted on gaining access to the court premises.
The Chairman of JUSUN, Osun State chapter, Speaking, Gbenga Eludire, said the Chief Judge has declared war against the workers, adding that they should withdraw their service from their respective stations.
