Governors to establish judicial panels of inquiry to investigate complaints of police brutality or extra judicial killings as well as establish a victims fund to enable the payment of monetary compensation to victims as directed the National Executive Council (NEC).
Laolu Akande, the spokesperson to the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, in a statement on Thursday, October 15, said the directive was issued at a meeting attended by governors and chaired by the VP and that the move was to deliver justice for all victims of the recently-dissolved Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) and other police units. He added that the panel will include representatives of youths, students, civil society organisations and would be chaired by a retired judge.
