Lagos #EndSARS panel suspends sitting indefinitely

0

The Lagos state judicial panel on police brutality has suspended its sitting until further notice.

Doris Okwuobi, the retired judge heading the panel, made the announcement today.

Okwuobi said the panel is expected to work on two reports before the expiration of its tenure — but little progress has been made on them.

The chairperson appealed to petitioners and counsels to bear with the panel, adding that notice of hearings will be sent out for petitions that have not been concluded.

The panel is expected to conclude sitting on October 19. The Lagos state government had twice extended the duration of the panel.
