40 discrepancies found in EndSARS panel report –Lagos counsel
Counsel for the Lagos State Government, Abiodun Owonikoko, has claimed that there are at least 40 discrepancies in the report submitted by the Judicial Panel of Inquiry on Restitution for Victims of SARS Related Abuses and Other Matters.
Owonikoko, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, who served as counsel to the Lagos State Government during the year-long sitting of the EndSARS judicial panel said this during an interview with Arise TV on Thursday.
The PUNCH had reported that Justice Doris Okuwobi-led panel on Monday, November 15 submitted its report to the Lagos State Government.
Findings of the 309-page report titled, ‘Report of Lekki Incident Investigation Of 20th October 2020, showed that there was a “massacre in context” at the Lekki tollgate on October 20, 2020.
The panel also claimed that at least 48 protesters were either killed, injured, or assaulted by soldiers and police.
It also indicted the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Lekki Concession Company, the police, and the army.
However, Owonikoko faulted some of the findings in the report, adding that important details were omitted by the panel.
