Lekki Shooting: Full List Of Police Officers Indicted By Lagos #EndSARS Panel

AllNews Nigeria has obtained the list of Nigerian Police Officers indicted by the Lagos #EndSARS panel

Recall that the Lagos Judicial panel on restitution for victims of SARS related abuses and other matters led by Justice Doris Okuwobi last Monday submitted its report to the state government accusing police officers deployed to the Lekki tollgate of shooting and assaulting unarmed protesters.

According to the report released to the state government led by Governor  Babajide Sanwo-Olu by the panel the protesters at the tollgate on the 20th of October, 2020, were attacked by security operatives which led to injuries and deaths.

The panel further stated that police officers and the Nigerian Army were at the scene of the protest and tried to cover up their actions by picking up bullets.

The panel recommended to the state government that some policemen should be prosecuted for arbitrary and indiscriminate shooting and killing of protesters.

According to Foundation for Investigative Journalism, (FIJ), although the panel treated several allegations of police brutality, the officers were found culpable in 42 different cases.

FIJ in its publication released the names and ranks of the officers accused of violating the rights of Nigerians protesting police brutality.
