He stated that the resolution was one of the measures taken to address complaints raised by the END SARS Protests across the country, stressing that the protests had challenged all leaders to rise and demonstrate sincerity and commitment in tackling the nation’s challenges.

“The protests have therefore provided us leaders with the opportunity to correct decades of illegalities and injustices meted on the people. It is against this background that we are today carrying out this very important state function of inaugurating the Judicial Panel of Inquiry”, the Governor stated.

Other members of the panel include Mrs. Josephine Haba,
