Lekki Shooting: Youth Members Oduala, Majekodunmi Rejoin Lagos Panel

‌

The Lagos State Panel of Judicial Inquiry probing police brutality and the alleged shooting of #EndSARS protesters by soldiers at the Lekki tollgate resumed today after suspending sittings for a week.

Recall that the retired Justice Doris Okuwobi-led panel was forced to suspend its sitting last Saturday after the two youth representatives on the panel, Oluwarinu Oduala and Majekodunmi Temitope boycott panel sitting.

The youths had boycotted the panel sitting in protest against the freezing of the bank accounts of 20 #EndSARS promoters by the Federal Government through the Central Bank of Nigeria.

And incidentally, one of the frozen accounts belongs to Oduala.

Commenting on the absence of the youth members last Saturday, the Chairman of the judicial panel, Justice Okuwobi, had said without the youths, the panel could not form a quorum and had no other option but to adjourned till today.

However, the panel resume sitting today with the two youth members present.

The panel is set to take the testimony of the Nigerian Army, whose witness is already at the witness stand.
