The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria has lifted its nationwide strike action.

JUSUN suspended its strike on Wednesday.

The union is set to commence work on Monday.

JUSUN had in April embarked on an indefinite nationwide strike in protest against the denial of the judiciary its constitutionally guaranteed financial autonomy which was also affirmed by a Federal High Court judgement in January 2014.

Part of the effects of the strike is that suspects who ordinarily should not spend more than 48 hours in custody are being detained indefinitely.
