JUSUN, through its member in a video made available to TheNigeriaLawyer on Wednesday, April 14, said they got information from a policeman that the Commissioner of Police has directed that all gates of Lagos be opened for free movement of people
JUSUN warned that the COP will be held liable for any infraction or anything that befalls courts in Lagos
