Hope or despair beckons as the Judicial Panels of inquiry ordered by the presidency across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, to investigate allegations of grievous human rights violations by the defunct Special Armed Robbery Squad, set sail. Louis Achi writes
The National Executive Council , chaired by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, had ordered the setting up, across the 36 states and Federal Capital Territory Abuja, of judicial panels of inquiry, to x-ray and remediate allegations of numbing, bloody infamy against the special police squad . The Lagos State Government had inaugurated an 8-man Judicial Panel of Inquiry and Restitution to investigate cases of police brutality in the state even as the protests continued. Lagos State Governor, Babajide revealed this.
“We have witnessed the protests of our youth against police brutality. The pain of this generation has been felt in various parts of our state and country, as well as in the diaspora, all speaking with one voice against the unbridled violation of their rights and lives,” he further said. Military personnel, who claimed they could not be allowed in except they get a directive from their superior, initially denied the impressive panel and accompanying journalists, access to the hospital.
“The visit to the Military hospital absolutely has something to do with the Lekki event of the 20th of October 2020. Well, like I said, we have no conclusion in our minds as to what we would find here. But we have intelligence to the extent that our work requires that we inspect the mortuary of the military hospital of here.”
End Asuu Strike now before Nigerian Students will embark on protest that will demand Ministers and National Assembly Members to be paid through IPPIS like their Lecturers. Act before is too Late.
