#EndSars Panel Report: Sanwo-Olu Speaks on Speaking The Truth, Regrets Leaks…
Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Tuesday said his government was committed to justice and truth as it relates to the report of the state’s #EndSARS panel.
The panel submitted its report on November 15, although the state government is yet to make its contents public with a White Paper expected today (Tuesday).
However, a leaked version of the report indicted the Nigerian Army and the Lagos state government in the killing of unarmed protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate and a subsequent cover-up.
It is not yet clear how the report was leaked.
Sanwo-Olu, commenting on the report, said the leakage was “regrettable”.
“While I commend the panel for undertaking its task to the best of its abilities, it is however regrettable that the panel’s work and the leakage of an unauthorized version of the report have generated much tension. Sadly, a deep wound has been reopened,” he said.
“The heated exchanges among various shades of opinion on the report have unfortunately put us all at the risk of missing the larger picture; the fact that what we all seek in common is a land in which we are all safe and secure, law enforcement agents are trusted, and justice is guaranteed for all.
“As I have stated earlier, we have no intention to engage in histrionics or further inflame passion on a matter that has generated intense interest and controversy nationally and internationally. Our decisions and actions will be based entirely on the law, the weight of evidence, and an unblemished respect for the truth
