Victims to sue Akeredolu over failure to implement ENDSARS panel report

The Ondo ENDSARS Panel headed by Justice Adesola Sidiq received 77 petitions and in its report recommended payment of N755m compensation to victims, publication of apologies in national dailies in deserving cases and discontinuation of cases instituted against persons arrested during the ENDSARS protest.

Lawyer to some of the victims, Tope Temokun, in a statement in Akure, said it was sad that the panel report has not been released nor has it been implemented three years after it was submitted.Temokun said the duty imposed on the Governor by the law does not include keeping away or hiding such report from the public.

“This country bled for long under the disbanded SARS and the victims need the government to heal their wounds. So the purpose of that exercise was to ensure that justice was done to victims of police brutality, extra-judicial killings and infringement of the fundamental human rights of the people. “We call on the government of Ondo Sate to purge itself of this sinful act and release the report to the public and implement same. We shall approach the court to enforce this if the government fails to heed,” he asserted.
