Court proceedings were disrupted across Ogun State on Monday as lawyers boycotted sittings to protest policies introduced by the state judiciary.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the three-day boycott, which began on Monday, was organised by the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) branches in Abeokuta, Sagamu and Ota.
NBA Abeokuta Branch Chairman, Kayode Aderemi, led officials to enforce the boycott at the Isabo High Court and the Judiciary Complex in Kobape, Abeokuta.
Some lawyers from outside Ogun State as well as litigants, were reportedly unaware of the action, leaving many stranded after arriving for scheduled court proceedings.
Mr Aderemi said the boycott followed unsuccessful efforts to engage the judiciary over policies the association considered unfavourable to lawyers and court users.
