Judicial workers in Ogun state have commenced a five-day warning strike over non-payment of their 40 per cent peculiar allowance.

The workers, under the aegis of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN), Ogun state chapter, shut down the state high court and magistrate court in Isabo, Abeokuta, the state capital.

Speaking on the industrial action, the state chairman of JUSUN, OLARENWAJU AJIBOYE said the workers were forced to embark on the strike, following the refusal of the state government to agree to their demands.

According to AJIBOYE, the union embarked on the strike following the expiration of the 21-day ultimatum issued to the state government.
