Strike: 'Inmates languishing in prisons despite getting bail' - Lawyer urges Abia JUSUN to call off strike

Lawyer Victor Nwaugo urged the Abia chapter of JUSUN to end its strike, noting that many inmates granted bail remain in prison due to the courts not sitting. He expressed that this situation undermines access to justice and creates economic difficulties for lawyers in the state. In response, JUSUN Abia Chairman Chinedu Ezeh accused Nwaugo of speaking on behalf of the state government rather than as an independent lawyer.
