Why Ekiti courts would remain closed — NLC

By Gbenga Ariyibi, Ado Ekiti

Despite the insinuation in certain quarters that the Federal Government has ordered the security operatives to clamp down the premises of the state High Court so as to frustrate the case against the state Governor-elect,Mr Ayo Fayose, the Nigeria Labour Congress(NLC) has said the courts would remain closed until the salaries and allowances of judicial workers are paid

The NLC was apparently reacting to a statement by All Progressives Congress and signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, accusing President Jonathan of allegedly ordering that the Ado Ekiti High Court be sealed off until the Governor elect, Mr Ayodele Fayose,is sworn-in.
