The Judicial Panel of Inquiry and Restitution set up by the Lagos State Government to investigate police brutality and high-handedness by some officials of the now-disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) has commended its fifth sitting.

The meeting which commenced at about 11:00 am Friday has in attendance the Managing Director of the Lekki Concession Company (LCC), counsel to the LCC, Rotimi Seriki Esq; counsel to the Lagos State Govt, A.J. Owonikoko (SAN) and counsel to the #EndSARS protesters, Adeshina Ademola Ogunlana, among others.

First on the list of cases to be called was the case of the Lekki shooting which occurred on October 20.

Mr Ogunlana made an appearance for the #EndSARS protesters. At first, his appearance was objected to, by the opposing counsel on the grounds that the #EndSARS protesters were not recognised by law.
