The Lagos State Judicial Panel Of Inquiry set up to address the issue of police brutality has suspended its sitting until further notice.

The Chairperson of the panel, Justice Doris Okuwobi (retired), announced this on Saturday.

The panel was expected to conclude its sitting on October 19.

This is coming hours after a member of the panel, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa (SAN), raised an alarm of plans to frustrate the team of reaching a meaningful conclusions on investigations into the October 20 Lekki Toll Gate incident.

“EndSARS Panel Being Frustrated; there are attempts to frustrate the EndSARS Judicial Panel from reaching meaningful conclusions on investigations into the Lekki Toll Gate Incident of 20th October 2020. I will give details subsequently,” he posted on Facebook.

In October 2020, many Nigerians took to the streets to demonstrate against police brutality under the #EndSARS campaign.

The demands led to the disbandment of the special anti-robbery squad (SARS) of the Nigerian Police Force.

On October 19, 2020, the Lagos State Government set up the judicial panel of inquiry and restitution to investigate cases of human rights abuses by operatives of the now-disbanded SARS and other security agencies.

This was sequel to the directive of the national economic council (NEC) that mandated states to set up panels to investigate police brutality in the wake of the #EndSARS protests.

The panel was given a mandate of six months to hear petitions submitted by members of the public, while a total of N200million was earmarked as compensation.

The panel’s sitting ought to have ended on April 19, but was extended by three months till July 19.

It was subsequently granted additional three months for hearing of petitions and was expected to conclude its sitting on October 19.

What did their sitting achieved?

they help formalize the denials of the govt and also bring an end to potential justice for victims.

2.0 loadin' . . . The labour of our heroes shall not be in vain #EndSARS

The panel na to make people forget abt the Mata before which dem don achieve...

As usual

As e dey hot, they set up a panel within 7 days.. but they deliberately foot dragged. Events plenty for Nigeria anyway, we put our attention different places. The brutality, false arrests has still not ended. That Endsars movement seems like a distant memory now.

Where you expecting anything reasonable from that panel, if the panel was actually independent and driving towards something useful do you think the criminals in public office would allow a proper judicial action to be carried out, am only glade the vampire they created in the north west is feasting on their bloodlines

It's a completely failed nation now, so what were people expecting to get from the panel? Justice? Lol. The sooner we realize that nothing will change in this country until it has been divided, the better. A tree with rotten roots will eventually die off. A house with bad foundation will surely collapse. The case cannot be different for a country such as this.

Many of the deluded fellow still claim shooting never took place. Forgetting Sanwoolu said it was wife of his commissioners that alerted him of the shooting wondering who gave the order. Lies can be covered for thousand years, one day truth will catch up. Death is a leveller of us all, we will carry nothing out.
