The legal practitioners have resolved to forcefully shut down all High Court premises across the zone until judicial officers and judges halt remote operations and fully resume physical court sittings.
Legal activities and judicial operations in the Nsukka zone of Enugu State face total paralysis as branches of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) in Nsukka and Obollo-Afor have finalised plans to launch a massive joint protest on Tuesday, June 2, 2026.
The legal practitioners have resolved to forcefully shut down all High Court premises across the zone until judicial officers and judges halt remote operations and fully resume physical court sittings.
An insider legal source who spoke to SaharaReporters on Monday afternoon revealed that High Court judges in the zone have completely abandoned physical courtrooms for years, citing the worsening wave of insecurity and targeted attacks by armed non-state actors in the South-East region.
The total withdrawal of physical sittings by the temple of justice has reportedly plunged lawyers, litigants, and detainees into severe crisis, crippling the local economy of the legal ecosystem.
