The Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry investigating the alleged shooting of #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki tollgate by soldiers on October 20, is expected to resume sitting today (Saturday).
The panel went on a week’s break on November 7, following its inability to form quorum.
Two representatives of the youths on the panel had boycotted the last sitting in protest of the freezing of the bank accounts of the #EndSARS promoters by the Central Bank of Nigeria.
This made the Chairman of the panel, Justice Doris Okuwobi (rtd) to adjourn proceedings.
