EndSARS: Gov AbdulRazaq receives panel report, pledges to implement recommendations

Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has received a three-volume report from the Justice Tunde Garba-led Panel of Inquiry on #EndSARS protest, promising to set up an implementation committee on its recommendations.

“Kwara State is one of the few states that are turning in their reports. It shows that we are on track. We will also set up an implementation committee to look into the recommendations of the panel,” AbdulRazaq said late Wednesday while receiving the report from the chairman of the panel Retired Justice Tunde Garba at the presidential lodge Ilorin.

“I thank the committee for doing a very delicate work. You were able to bring your experience and expertise to bear on the difficult task. We understand from the size of the document you are submitting that a lot of work has gone into it. You needed more time which we acceded to.”

AbdulRazaq commended the Police and the entire security agencies in Nigeria for their services to the nation, and urged them to continue to do their duties diligently and in line with the law.

“We must thank the Police and other security agencies for their services to Nigeria for keeping us safe. We encourage them to do their work diligently. Some of the demands of #EndSARS are already being met by the president. Salaries and emoluments of the police are being looked into,” he said.

“President Muhammadu Buhari is also rolling out a lot of programmes through the social investment programme for the youths and indigents to ensure there is prosperity in the country.

Justice Issa Babatunde Garba (rtd); Abubakar Isiaka Kamil (member); Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq; Nafisat Musa Buge (member); Barr. Idris Gana Jibril (member); Hajia Fatima Audu Jumai (member); Olawuyi Olmidayo; and AIG Issa Ojibara(rtd); during the presentation of report on ENDSARS to the Governor at Government House, Ilorin, on Wednesday.

“We need to remain focus and maintain law and order to tame the current insecurity in the country. We need to live together peacefully for the progress of the country.”

For his part, retired Justice Garba said if the government adopts the recommendations of the panel, it will help to support victims of identified cases of police brutality and also improve the living conditions of serving and retired police officers.

The panel’s report was based on various petitions received, bordering on alleged police brutality, unlawful arrests, extortion, violation of fundamental human rights, and impunity, the retired judge said.

“The report is in three volumes; volume one is the main report, volume two contains the petitions received and adopted by the panel while volume three contains the list of all the exhibits tendered and admitted during the panel’s proceedings,” he said.

“The main report contains proceedings, our findings and recommendations on each of the 25 petitions received and treated holistically by the panel. It is therefore our hope that the recommendations therein if adopted by the government will wipe the tears and put a smile on the faces of all the victims of police brutality and even the serving and retired police officers inclusive.”

The panel recommended, among other things, that some erring F-SARS operatives named in unlawful activities be prosecuted and legitimate petitioners compensated with varying sums.

The report also recommended that officers of the Nigeria Police be made to enjoy adequate training and their salaries and emoluments reviewed upward to reduce excesses and improve productivity in the system.

Members of the panel are Hon. Justice Issa Babatunde Garba (Rtd) Chairman; Rtd. AIG Issa Ojibara; Mrs. Oluronke Adeyemi; Hajia Fatima Jummai Audu; Mrs. Jumoke Olaoye; Idris Gana Jibril; Nafisat Musa Buge; Kaosarah Abdulrasaq Adeyi; Hassan Yusuff Adio; and Alh. Shuaib AbdulGaniyu (Secretary).
