Following the #EndSARS protests by Nigerian youths against the highhandedness and brutality by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Nigeria Police Force, the Plateau State Governor, Simon Bako Lalong, today inaugurated a Judicial Panel of Inquiry to probe cases of human rights abuses.

Inaugurating the panel at the Government House in Jos, the governor said the panel was set up to address the violation of citizens’ rights in the state.

According to him, in the terms of reference, the panel is to receive complaints, petitions from members of the public, identify the culprits and proffer recommendations to the state government.

Lalong, who stated that the panel is to submit its report within six months, promised that the government would implement its recommendations and prosecute the erring police officers.

The panel, which will be headed by a retired Judge of the Plateau State High Court, Justice Philomena Lot, has other members as: Commissioner of Police Garba Patrick (rtd); Mr. Ezekiel Dauda Daschen (youth representative); Mrs. Rauta Dakok (representative of Attorney General’s Office); and Mrs. Kyempia Mafuyai (representative of Human Rights Commission).
