The Lagos State Police Command have improvised to decongest cells as the Judicial Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN)’ strike lingers.
Lagos State Police Spokesman, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, told News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday, June 8, that the decongestion was carried out in collaboration with the office of the Chief Judge and Attorney-General of the state.
”The command had been managing the situation in collaboration with the office of the state chief judge.
“We work with the office of the CJ and Attorney-General of Lagos State to decongest our cells.
“The CJ has provided the services of some Magistrates and District Prosecutors to assess case files and grant bail to some suspects.
“So, we are collaborating with them in this regard,’’ Adejobi said.
He however, did not give the number of suspects that had been granted bail so far.
Recall that JUSUN has been on a nationwide strike since April 6, 2021, as they demand for the implementation of an approved law granting financial autonomy to the Judiciary.
