We Will Stall Daniel’s Trial, – Union

The resumed trial of Mr Gbenga Daniel, the former governor of Ogun for alleged financial misappropriation, may be stalled by the ongoing strike by judicial workers in the state.
Members of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) had been on strike since Oct. 31 to press home their demand for the implementation of a new salary structure for judicial staff.
Daniel is currently facing a 28-count charge of alleged financial misappropriation and the case is expected to continue at the state High Court on Friday.
The union had threatened to prevent judges and lawyers from entering the court.
Mr Samuel Adesanya, the President, Ogun chapter of the union, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in Abeokuta that union had appointed a task force to enforce compliance.
“We will make sure that no trial comes up tomorrow; the strike will continue until our needs are met,” he said. (NAN)
