Management of the judiciary in the state is claiming that the government was taken to court and therefore no further action should be taken, he disclosed.
The decision to embark on the strike action, he said, was reached at a congress because of the insensitivity and refusal of the CJ, Justice Suleiman Dikko, to address their demands.
“We reached a consensus that if the CJ did not meet our demands, we will resume indefinite strike.
“We have been patient enough to avoid this last resort, but we have no choice but to press home our demands,” he said.
