EXCLUSIVE: EndSARS: Despite 2,600 petitions, govt’s legal aid scheme represents only five petitioners

When contacted by our reporter, a representative of LACON on the Lagos State Panel of Enquiry and Restitution, Sandra Benjamin, said the council only received one application for legal representation.

Funmi Odutayo, who coordinated the activities on behalf of LACON at the panel, said two of the victims of alleged police brutality were in critical need of medical attention. Mr Opaleke explained that the 12-member panel, which was inaugurated on October 22, 2020 by Ekiti State governor, Kayode Fayemi, concluded its sittings in May 2021, adding that compensations for victims had commenced.
