Hundreds of protesters, members of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria, JUSUN, and Nigeria Bar Association, NBA, on Thursday blocked the convoy of Osun Deputy Governor, Benedict Alabi during a protest in Osogbo, on Thursday.

Recall that JUSUN and the NBA, have been protesting in different parts of the country against the alleged unwillingness of the government to respect the financial autonomy of the judiciary.

The protesters in Osogbo on Thursday morning started the protest from the High Court, Oke-Fia and marched to the Customary Court through to Federal High Court in Osogbo.
