JUSUN Dissolves Osun Chapter Excos, Sets Up Caretaker Committee

The leadership of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN), Osun State chapter has been dissolved by the national body of the union.

It would be recalled that Osun JUSUN under Comrade Gbenga Eludire, had on November 22 embarked on an indefinite strike following a clash with policemen during a protest against the embattled Chief Judge of the State, Justice Adepele Ojo.

The strike action has halted delivery of justice as courts across the state have been shut.

However, a letter dissolving the state exco has been sent by the national body with a caretaker committee put in place.

The three-man caretaker committee is headed by Mr Rasaq Lawal.

Confirming the dissolution and appointment as caretaker chairman of the union in the state, Lawal in an interview with newsmen, said, “The present Excos have been dissolved by the National body and a caretaker has been put in place and a letter to that effect has been sent to us.

“I’ve been nominated as the chairman of the caretaker and we have other two members as well.

“The caretaker position would last for the first three months after which there can be an election.

“We will be there for that three months to put things in place.”
