The Lagos State judicial panel on Special Anti-Robbery Squad -related abuses has submitted its report to the state government.The panel on Monday submitted its report to the state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu at the Government House, Ikeja. Youths had stormed the streets in some states in the country last year to demand that SARS, a police unit notorious for extrajudicial killings, human rights abuses and violence should be disbanded.
The protesters also demanded that police personnel found responsible for abusing their position should be brought to justice.A statement by one of the members of the panel, Ebun Olu-Adegboruwa on Monday said “following the incident at the Lekki Toll Gate on October 20, 2020, the Terms of Reference of the Panel was expanded to cover that incident”.
He continued, “The Panel divided its assignment and report into two principal segments to cover general cases of police abuses and the special case of the Lekki Toll Gate Incident.“Compensation was paid to deserving cases of police abuses while a special case was made for victims of the Lekki Toll Gate Incident of October 20, 2020.“True to his word, the Governor of Lagos State granted total independence to the Panel, as we worked according to our conscience and based upon our common convictions.
Olu-Adegboruwa said at the presentation ceremony on Monday, Sanwo-Olu promised two things: “To set up a Four-Man Committee led by the Honourable Attorney-General to prepare a White Paper for the purpose of implementing the findings and recommendations expressed in the report and to give it legal backing; and to send the report to the National Economic Council for implementation.
“However, the Governor explained to me that this would only be done to enable the government implement the findings and recommendations of the Panel and not to tamper with it or mutilate it. I believe His Excellency.“I will however keep observing the turn of events and at the appropriate time, one may be forced to state the FULL contents of the report if the promises made are not fulfilled.
If you are reading this article be you army or police and you know what really happened in Lekki toll gate,,, just as you have caused pain to others, from generation to generation you shall always experience endsars EndBadGoveranceInNigeria ipob Oduduwa KeepitOn
Now that the original report is out, what next? Will the government accept the crime committed after the rigorous search for the truth? Will the affected get justice? Will the erred officers get punished? Only time will tell whether the right thing will be done. Rip to the dead.
I hope they don't kill the panel chairman as usual.
