Planned JSC meeting may undermine our struggle — Osun JUSUN

The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria, JUSUN, Osun State Chapter, has raised alarm that the planned Judiciary Service Commission, JSC, meeting may be used as a propaganda to undermine our struggle for fairness and justice.

Osun JUSUN chairman, Comrade Idris Adedayo Adeniran dropped this hint in a statement made available to DAILY POST on Tuesday in Osogbo.

Osun JUSUN while expressing surprise that the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Osogbo branch was seemingly siding with the Chief Judge, Justice Oyebola Adepele Ojo rather than facilitating a reconciliation between both parties, also rejected any attempt to use the JSC meeting as leverage to compel JUSUN to resume work without a satisfactory agreement

DAILY POST recalls that the Osun JUSUN chapter had on September 19, 2025, embarked on an indefinite strike action to press home its demands on ratifying the promotion 2023 and 2024 promotion of its members.

According to Adeniran, “We fully support the JSC meeting. However, we’re concerned that the Nigerian Bar Association leadership’s announcement of JSC meeting appears to be made without JUSUN’s involvement, despite our ongoing strike and the fact that the state judiciary is currently under lock and key.

“This raises suspicions that the meeting may be used as propaganda to undermine our struggle for fairness and justice. We reject any attempt to use the JSC meeting as leverage to compel JUSUN to resume work without a satisfactory agreement.

“It’s surprising to see the NBA leadership seemingly siding with the Honourable Chief Judge rather than facilitating a mediatory role.”

The Osun JUSUN chairman also reiterated the earlie stand of the union that the strike would not be called off until the ria demands were met and that any official meeting between them and the state’s chief judge would only take place with the JUSUN national president in attendance.

“We reaffirm our unwavering commitment to securing justice and fairness for all JUSUN members, with emphasis on:

“Timely and merit-based career advancement opportunities for 2024 and 2025 promotions.

“Improved working conditions, benefits, and overall well-being.

“We reiterate our unwavering commitment to our demands and will continue negotiations with the Honourable Chief Judge.

“No intimidation will deter us from pursuing fairness and justice for JUSUN members in Osun State. Our demands are legitimate, reasonable, and long overdue. We will persist until they are fully met and our rights are recognized by the Honourable Chief Judge,” he said.

“Any official meeting will be attended by the National Leadership of JUSUN, who are best positioned to negotiate on behalf of the union,” he added.

Lagos begins second phase of enumeration for Oworonshoki regeneration compensation

The Lagos State Government has begun the second phase of enumeration for residents affected by the Oworonshoki Regeneration Project as part of its ongoing compensation programme for property owners whose structures were demolished during the urban renewal initiative.

Lagos begins second phase of enumeration for Oworonshoki regeneration compensation

The Lagos State Government has begun the second phase of enumeration for residents affected by the Oworonshoki Regeneration Project as part of its ongoing compensation programme for property owners whose structures were demolished during the urban renewal initiative.

The exercise, which commenced on Monday, November 3, 2025, at the Oloworo Palace in Oworonshoki, Kosofe Local Government Area, was coordinated by the Lagos State Urban Renewal Agency, LASURA.

It was supervised by the agency’s General Manager, Town Planner, TPL, Oladimeji Animashaun, alongside directors, technical officers, and representatives of relevant government bodies.

Also present were community leaders, traditional chiefs, members of Community Development Associations, CDAs, and Community Development Committees, CDCs, civil society groups, security personnel, journalists, and a large number of residents who turned out to be documented.

According to TPL Animashaun, the second phase of enumeration became necessary to accommodate residents who were unable to participate in the initial exercise and to ensure that every legitimate claimant receives due compensation, in line with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s directive.

“Just last week, we distributed compensation to affected residents whose buildings were pulled down under the Oworonshoki Urban Regeneration Project. However, several individuals who missed the initial enumeration appealed for another opportunity to be captured,” Animashaun said.

“Today’s exercise is to ensure no one is left out. As you can see, the turnout is even greater than before, which shows growing confidence in the government’s sincerity,” he added.

The LASURA boss noted that initial skepticism among residents had shifted to trust after the successful disbursement of the first batch of compensation, prompting more property owners to come forward for verification.

“Some residents initially doubted the government’s commitment and even considered protesting. But when they saw their neighbours receiving compensation, they realized it was genuine. That trust has now encouraged wider participation,” he explained.

Animashaun assured residents that the verification and compensation process would be completed within a short timeframe.

“Once this enumeration phase is concluded, payments will follow promptly, within a few days or at most a week, just as we did with the first batch,” he stated.

He also urged residents to remain peaceful and cooperate fully with government officials to ensure a smooth and transparent process, reiterating that the Sanwo-Olu administration remains committed to fairness, transparency, and the welfare of all Lagosians affected by developmental projects.

NDLEA raises alarm over discovery of cannabis strain ‘California Loud’ in Lagos

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, has uncovered a new and highly potent strain of cannabis, identified as “California Loud,” in Lagos State.

NDLEA raises alarm over discovery of cannabis strain ‘California Loud’ in Lagos

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, has uncovered a new and highly potent strain of cannabis, identified as “California Loud,” in Lagos State.

This latest discovery comes shortly after the agency dismantled a secret laboratory in Ajao Estate, Isolo, where a synthetic variant of cannabis known as “Colorado” was being produced inside a residential building.

The operation led to the arrest of a 30-year-old suspect, Stephen Imoh, following months of discreet intelligence gathering.

NDLEA spokesperson, Femi Babafemi disclosed the emergence of the new cannabis strain during an appearance on This Morning, a programme aired on TVC News on Monday.

“Loud is another strain of cannabis, and it’s a very potent one, much stronger than what we have locally. That’s part of its attraction; the taste and effect are more intense, which is why many young people go for it,” Babafemi explained.

“Recently in Lagos, we also discovered a new variant called California Loud. It’s a major challenge for us, and that’s why everyone, from families to communities, needs to get involved in curbing the spread,” he added.

Speaking further on the earlier discovery of the Colorado production lab, Babafemi described the synthetic drug as extremely dangerous due to its complex chemical composition.

“The THC component is extracted from cannabis and mixed with other harmful chemicals, which is what makes it synthetic, and very dangerous,” he said.

He also revealed that the arrested suspect had already begun to suffer severe skin damage caused by exposure to the chemicals used in production.

“If you observe his body, his skin is peeling and discoloured due to the chemical reactions from the substances he handled,” Babafemi noted.

Despite numerous arrests and consistent clampdowns on drug networks nationwide, Nigeria continues to face a growing challenge of illicit drug use and trafficking.

NDLEA Chairman and Chief Executive, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (rtd.), has reaffirmed the agency’s commitment to intensifying its operations against drug cartels.

Marwa stressed that the NDLEA will not relent in tracking, dismantling, and prosecuting individuals or groups involved in drug production and distribution, while ensuring that offenders are stripped of their illegal proceeds.
