The Lagos State Government has noted the various reactions that have followed the submission of the report of the Judicial Panel of Inquiry on Restitution for Victims of SARS Related Abuses and Other Matters.
There have been arguments in the public space over the report. There is need for us to restrain ourselves from nullifying the good intentions of the government in setting up this Panel, which was well encouraged to do its job - a fact that was acknowledged by the Panel.
In accordance with the Tribunal of Inquiry Law 2015, a committee has been set up to bring up a White Paper on the report to determine the next line of action.
At the appropriate time, the Government will make known its views on all the issues raised by the Panel through the release of a White Paper.

#LagosEndSARSPanel: Mr Abiodun Owonikoko SAN (Counsel to LASG on the Panel), He says the white paper is supposed to be the official communication to the public, Owonikoko SAN says the document being sent around is unsigned but contains all names of members.
Owonikoko SAN accused a “gentlemen” who he called ‘a very respected member’ for the entire duration stopped attending proceedings pertaining to the Lekki incident, He says the gentleman is Ebun Adegboruwa SAN .. he says he clearly has his own agenda to pursue.
Owonikoko SAN gives examples of cases where members of a Tribunal did not participate in the process of the Tribunal and still say to give judgement on the same subject matter which they did not participate in, which invalidated the whole process in court.
