THE State Judicial Panel on Restitution for Victims of SARS Related Abuses and other Matters has suspended its sitting indefinitely.
Chairman, Justice Doris Okuwobi (rtd), announced the suspension today.
“EndSARS panel is 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,” Adegboruwa said.
The panel was set up to investigate cases of police brutality especially involving officers of the now-defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad, and determine whether protesters were killed at Lekki tollgate plaza on October 20, 2020, or not.
The sitting was suspended barely seven days after a forensic expert from Sentinel Forensics Ltd, Joseph Funsho-Ako, presented a report of the forensic investigation conducted on the ammunition presented by the Nigerian Army at the panel.
He told the panel that the samples of ammunition presented by the Nigerian Army matched bullet shells recovered at Lekki Tollgate.
