“This was made known to the five Chairmen through their whatsaap platform at 17:02hrs today, Sunday the 19th day of September 2021.

 

 

“The Notice reads: A. C. Emenyonu, secretary to the Imo Acting CJ has conveyed to me the CJ’s approval of a state-wide boycott of all courts in Imo state by Imo Lawyers till Wednesday, the 22nd day of September 2021.

 

 

“The Secretariat has, a few minutes ago, confirmed the veracity of this information after contacting the Secretary to the Acting Chief Judge, who revealed that this directive was pursuant to the request made by Orlu Branch of NBA.

 

 

“To that effect, all courts in Imo State shall not sit on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday the 20th, 21st and 22nd days of September 2021, respectively.”
