The Governor of Lagos state, Babajide Sanwo-Olu inaugurates an 8-man Judicial Panel of Inquiry and Restitution, saddled with the responsibility of receiving and investigating complaints of police brutality in the state.
This was made known in a post on the official Facebook page of the Executive Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
The post further states that the panel will be joined by 2 youth representatives and a member of the National Human Rights Commission in the next 24 hours as it looks to provide restitution while following due process.
The Lagos state government started engaging with protesters and all sides that are affected.
In part of the post, “In Lagos, beyond setting up this panel which we hope will serve as a representation of our broader interests; we have established a N200 million fund for compensation to families and individuals who have been victimized by officers of the disbanded SARS.
“Orderly room trials of erring policemen resulting in dismissals, demotions and more severe punishment for human rights violations have begun”.
The governor urged everyone brutalized by the disbanded SARS including the families of those who died to present their cases before the panel.
