#EndSARS: Lagos Panel Suspends Sitting

Lagos State Judicial panel colloquially known as EndSARS Panel has suspended sitting till further notice.

Gatekeepers News reports that the Lagos State Judicial panel of enquiry, colloquially known as the EndSars panel has suspended its sitting until further notice.

The Committe is headed by a retired judge, Doris Okuwobi.

The panel had initially suspended sitting following the withdrawal of youth representatives from the exercise.

However, the panel resumed sitting in December 2020 with a mandate to conclude hearings by October 19, 2021.

Okuwobi announced this in a statement on Saturday.

Okuwobi said, “There are two reports that we are expected to work on, we are not close enough to any of them, we cannot continue with the sitting and end up the assignment without concluding. So we will not be sitting from today.

“But as soon as we find ourselves in a comfortable situation, we will send hearing notices to cases that have been listed.

“Please bear with us, we cannot speculate on any further extension. We have to work towards completing the assignment as early as we can.”

She added that during the break, the panel will “evaluate, collate and make findings” regarding the Lekki shooting.
