Judicial Panel on Police Brutality set up by the Kwara state government on Sunday said it had received 18 petitions from members of the public.

Chairman of the panel, Justice I. B. Garba (retd.) said the panel would begin public hearing Monday 16th November between 10 a.m and 4 p.m daily in Ilorin, the state capital.

Justice Garba said: “The general public is hereby informed that those to appear include all those who have earlier submitted memoranda and those willing to give oral complaints on police brutality, human rights abuses and extra-judicial killings.”

The panel had earlier advised the public to submit petitions and complaints on any allegation of assault, human rights abuses and extra-judicial killings by members of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), especially the disbanded SARS between October 26 and November 8, 2020.


The panel will also make recommendations on compensations, prosecution and other remedial measures where appropriate.
