Lagos EndSARS Panel has submitted the report on Lekki Shooting to Sanwo-Olu.

 

 

Newsonline reports that the Lagos State Judicial Panel on #EndSARS, on Monday, submitted its report to the Lagos State Government.

This online newspaper learnt that the report was submitted in a brief ceremony at Government House, Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos.

 

The panel was inaugurated on October 19, 2020, to look into complaints of citizens against human rights abuses by the police.

 

Following the incident at the Lekki Toll Gate on October 20, 2020, the terms of reference of the Panel were expanded to cover that incident.

 

The panel sat for over one year, listening to testimonies of petitioners, witnesses, experts, and lawyers.

 

It later announced that it would divide 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.

 

During the sittings, 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.

A member of the panel, Ebun Adegboruwa, SAN, said the report examined the Lekki tollgate shooting, cases of police brutality, and the need for compensation of some victims.

 

He said, “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.

“Specifically for the Lekki Toll Gate Investigation, we set up certain crucial issues for determination, as to whether:

“There was any protest at the Lekki Toll Gate, the nature of the protest, the presence and mission of soldiers at the Lekki Toll Gate, whether blank or live bullets were shot by the soldiers, whether there was any death and if so, the numbers involved, whether there was any massacre at the Lekki Toll Gate on October 20, 2020, and if so, what evidence is available in proof thereof, whether the police were at the Lekki Toll Gate and if so, whether they shot and killed the protesters, etc.

 

“The panel answered these questions truthfully, frankly and courageously, based on the evidence led before it.”

 

The lawyer threatened to make the outcome of the report public if the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, fails to do so.

 

He said, “Although I have my own copy of the report of the Panel, I will trust His Excellency the Governor of Lagos State to fulfill his promise to Nigerians to make the findings and recommendations of the Panel public. That is the only way to build a true nation and avoid a repeat of the atrocious acts of security agencies against our people, especially the youths, the vulnerable, and the helpless.

“At the presentation ceremony today, the Governor 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.

“It is my view that Lagos State having appeared before the Panel as a party, having tendered documents before the Panel and led witnesses to take a position on the Incident of the Lekki Toll Gate, it will be unfair and improper for Lagos State to be a judge in its own cause, by seeking to review the report of the Panel.

“However, the Governor explained to me that this would only be done to enable the government to 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.”
