Lawyer Cautions Against Invasion Of CJ’s Residence

A Calabar-based human rights lawyer, Barrister Utum Eteng, has warned the leadership of Cross River State branch of  the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) and the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), on the consequences that await them should they  allow  any individual or executive arm of government  to unlawfully usurp the functions of the Chief Judge (CJ) of the state by invading his residence.
He warned the two professional bodies not to adopt a lukewarm attitude towards unlawful taking over of the residence of the CJ so as not to be punished by posterity.
Eteng gave the warning while acquainting media men with  the goings-on in the state judiciary which according to him, were ‘mind bogging’ and needs  to be addressed  urgently before things  go out of hand.
The legal practitioner urged the professional  bodies of  the NBA and JUSUN to with no further delay commence a  process of digging deep into the allegations making the rounds in  the  social media  that plan by  executive arm of  Cross River State Government  has reached advanced stage  to  unlawfully take over the Chief Judge’s official residence.
