BREAKING: Nigerian Judiciary Workers, DSS 4-Hour Talks End In Deadlock As Union Vows To Begin Strike Monday Despite Supreme Court’s Withdrawal
This decision comes despite the Supreme Court chapter of JUSUN opting out of the industrial action.
The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN), Federal High Court Chapter, has insisted on proceeding with its planned indefinite nationwide strike set to begin on Monday, June 2, 2025.
This decision comes despite the Supreme Court chapter of JUSUN opting out of the industrial action.
A JUSUN executive told SaharaReporters exclusively on Sunday evening that the strike would proceed as scheduled, noting that a four-hour meeting held earlier that day failed to produce a positive outcome.
“Strike continues even as Supreme Court and National Judicial Council pulled out of the strike. We had a meeting with Director General of the DSS (Department of State Services) and Director of Operations at their headquarters which lasted for 4 hours,” the source said.
“Resolutions were not reached as another meeting is slated at the instance of the CJN (Chief Justice of Nigeria) with all stakeholders that matter, including the DSS.”
The source added that the status quo would remain until further directives.
The source added that the status quo would be maintained until further directives.
Similarly, Comrade Mohammed Isah, Secretary of JUSUN SCA, in a brief message on Sunday, stated, “We are just out of the meeting with the necessary stakeholders but JUSUN insisted that strike should continue.
“All staff should remain at home till further notice as another meeting will take place tomorrow as the strike is ongoing.”
SaharaReporters earlier on Sunday reported that the Supreme Court chapter of JUSUN had firmly stated that it would not be joining the industrial action.
This decision was reached following an emergency meeting of the chapter’s executive members, held at the Supreme Court complex on May 31.
According to the union, the unique circumstances of the Supreme Court and its ongoing engagements make it impractical to participate in the strike, which was initiated by their colleagues in lower courts across the country.
“Supreme Court Chapter of JUSUN hereby resolves not to join in the proposed strike action by the Federal Courts slated to commence 1st June, 2025,” the communique stated.
The chapter stressed that although it understood the broader concerns of judiciary workers nationwide, the prevailing situation at the Supreme Court was different and demanded a tailored approach.
The chapter underscored that its decision was influenced by the substantial efforts made by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Hon. Justice Kudirat Motonmori Olatukunbo Kekere-Ekun, to resolve the outstanding financial obligations to judiciary workers.
The communiqué was signed by twelve executive members of the chapter, including Comrade Danladi Nda Y., Comrade Bala Sambo, Comrade Bala Nuhu Aseku, Comrade Comfort Ataghar M., Comrade Idrisa Sadiq N., Comrade Faustina Onyinyechi Amadi U., Comrade Adamu Yunusa Kyara, Comrade Musa N. Chonoko, Comrade Leonard Okafor, Comrade Godwin Afemonbhio, Comrade Christian Onwurah, and Comrade Iyal Muhd. Tukur.
On Saturday, SaharaReporters reported that JUSUN, Federal High Court Chapter, had declared an indefinite nationwide strike.
The call for the strike action was made in response to the government’s failure to implement agreed wage increases for judicial workers.
The leadership of JUSUN in a circular dated May 30 and seen by SaharaReporters on Saturday, ordered the shutdown of various Federal High Courts across the country as from Monday, June 2.
The union’s Public Relations Officer, Mr. Gideon A. Maku, said the strike action followed a breakdown in negotiations between JUSUN’s national leadership and the Minister of Labour and Employment on Friday, May 30, 2025.
According to him, the action is to protest against the non-payment of five months’ arrears of wage award, non-implementation of N70,000 national minimum wage and the non-implementation of the 25/35 per cent salary increase.
“As a result of the failed negotiations and lack of government commitment, the Union has resolved to proceed on an indefinite strike effective from Monday, June 2,” the circular stated.
“All members of staff are hereby directed to remain at home until further notice.”

Harrison Gwamnishu’s Lawyer Gives An Account Of What The Activist Did With The Ransom Given To Him By Family Of Abducted Couple
Harrison Gwamnishu’s lawyer has given an account on what transpired between the activist and the N5.4 million deduction from the N20 million ransom family members of abducted Edo couple raised for their release.
There has been a controversy over the money Harrison delivered to the kidnappers. The family claimed they handed N20 million to Harrison to pay the ransom for the release of the abducted couple but upn handing the money to the kidnappers, the assailants discovered some monies were missing from the ransom and decided to hold on to the husband and then released the pregnant wife. Harrison has since denied any wrongdoing, insisting he has a modus operandi to handle abductors.
His lawyer has come out to give an account of what transpired between the ransom money and the activist. Read below
‘’I just got off the phone with Harrison Gwamnishu’s Lawyer. A lot has been said and done in real life investigation. Now, HARRISON’s CONFESSION
That his modus operandi is to get a prototype look alike cash where he inserts the chip for tracking as our cash is too light to carry the chip.
So before ransom is paid they remove a huge part of the money and replace it with the prototype money because the chip can only sit well on the fake money. The removed money will be given back to the family after a successful operation.
That he did this in the presence of the family member who was in the room with him. Now, the family member was called to answer and he claimed that Harrison was backing him and so he didn’t see what he was doing…
Hmmm na so Harrison back thick to occupy and cover all the space that you couldn’t see abi? Na God go judge you.
When he entered the bush at midnight to deliver the ransom the bandits were all wearing mask despite the fact that eveywhere was very dark they were pointing guns and touchlights at him and other victims family who also entered the bush with him to pay ransom for the release of their loved ones. There are other kidnapped victims who are in the custody of the bandits.
After he gave them the ransom only the Pregnant Woman was released to him and the man was begging for forgiveness from his younger brother according to him he was saying that his brother should forgive him. Remember that this couple were kindnapped from their home…. Could it be an insider job???
It was this same brother that first raise the alarm that the money was not complete. 1+1=
After the operation they went to the police station in Auchi to give report. Harrison when confronted about the money hesitated to tell them about his modus operandi, but when the family started threatening him, he told them and the police how he operates and he was asked to bring the money… He went to his hotel room took the money he kept aside and handed it over to the police in Auchi, Edo State that same day before leaving the town.
Harrison begged that none of this should enter social media until after the man had been released but shockingly, the family went on social media and the dragging started. They claimed he was on the run and his car was seized by the police.
Harrison then made a rebuttal to state that no money was taken (he didn’t go into details), his car was not seized by the police but rather he left his car there for safety as the people were already threatening him and he didn’t want them to trail him and injure him on his way home.
Harrison went on his own to SCID EDO COMMAND at Benin city for further investigation and the police there brought out the money and made him act like he was returning it so they can snap him and which they did
A Money he had returned in Auchi voluntarily suddenly became a tool of amusement for them.
After that, they prepared a search warrant claiming that they searched his hotel room at Auchi and recovered the money and were forcing him to sign the warrant and he refused. Now after 48 hours of the hand over they want him to sign a warrant that I was them that recovered the money. At that point his Lawyer vehemently refused him signing that warrant and he was locked up in the police cell.
The 14 days remained that is flying on social media by propagandist NEVER HAPPENED.
Harrison inserted a chip inside a prototype money that was mixed with the ransom paid for the release of the pregnant woman and according to him, the chip is still very active cos from his system he can still see where the kidnappers are and he is willing to assist the police track the bandits down and release the Man.
But instead of talking about how to go into the bush and face the bandits, they are all focused on Harrison. The #5.4m is with the police so why can’t the police or the family of the man go into the bush to rescue the man???
On my own i will advise Harrison to not enter that bush again. He should allow the police do their work.
I understand the bad blood between him and some powers that be and competitors in the game and thats why the whole thing is looking somehow and he is being judged by his past ugly shortcomings.
However, person no dey bad finish and so i will hang on to the one good Harrison has done in his life and until a court of competent jurisdiction finds him guilty… i will not throw him under the bus.
It’s very shameful that a private citizen is the one who interfaces with bandits while the police sits in their office. The family be playing with their brother’s life.
NB: This is a first hand account of what i gathered from Harrison’s lawyer this Beautiful Saturday morning. Thank You

Lady Nearly Plunged To Her Death From 10th Floor Window While Escaping From Lover’s Wife (Video)
A woman in China was captured on video clinging to the exterior of a high-rise building as she attempted to avoid being caught by her lover’s wife—a dramatic scene that has since gone viral online.
Residents in Guangdong province watched in disbelief as the woman dangled from a tenth floor balcony, appearing at moments to lose her grip.
Footage shows a shirtless man speaking to her through a window before retreating inside. Holding her phone, she begins lowering herself toward the floor below, using drainpipes and narrow ledges to steady herself.
The video shows her sliding down a water pipe and knocking urgently on a neighbour’s window. The occupant eventually opens up and pulls her to safety.
Local reports say a married man pushed his mistress out onto the balcony in a panic when his wife unexpectedly returned home, forcing her to attempt the perilous escape. The recording spread rapidly across Chinese social media, with many users saying the pair had been left “socially dead” by the public exposure and would face deep embarrassment.
Commenters also warned that climbing the exterior of a high rise posed extreme risks and could easily have ended in a fatal fall.
The incident comes shortly after a separate tragedy in the UK, where twenty nine year old Bartosz Urbaniak died after falling from a balcony at a holiday park event in Skegness.
Witnesses said he attempted to climb between balconies before losing his footing. A trainee nurse at the scene administered CPR, and he was flown to Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham, but he died two days later from severe head injuries.
