The Chairman of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria in Osun State, Idris Adeniran, has declared that the union remains apolitical and not aligned with any political party, warning against attempts to drag the judiciary into partisan activities.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, Adeniran said the union would resist any move by political actors to use the judiciary as a tool for propaganda.
He stressed that JUSUN is committed to preserving the sanctity of the judiciary and will not tolerate undue interference in its operations.
“The union will take all necessary legal and industrial actions to safeguard judges and magistrates from any form of harassment.
“Our attention has been drawn to a staged protest by a group of purported local government chairmen and councillors affiliated with a well-known political party in the state,” he said.
Adeniran condemned the protest held at the gate of the Osun State High Court, describing it as an attempt to disparage a magistrate and a development that could invite anarchy.
The JUSUN chairman said the union views the action as a direct assault on the independence and sanctity of the judiciary, the third arm of government.
He urged members of the public to disregard such actions and allow the courts to perform their constitutional duties without interference.
Adeniran also advised aggrieved political parties to seek redress through appropriate legal channels, noting that the law provides clear avenues for appeal rather than resorting to protests at court premises.
