The Lagos State Government has released the White Paper on the #EndSARS Panel of Inquiry report.
The government accepted 11 out of the 32 recommendations made by the panel, while six others were accepted but with modifications. The document stated that 14 of the recommendations fell outside the powers of the state and will consequently be forwarded to the Federal Government for consideration.
A leaked version of the report had indicted the Nigerian Army and the Lagos State Government in the killing of unarmed protesters and a subsequent cover-up of the incident at the Lekki Toll Gate on October 20, 2020. The governor, however, assured Lagosians that his administration remains committed to justice and truth.
