The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on Monday,
submitted a list of 35 operatives of the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad
(SARS) to the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice,
Abubakar Malami (SAN), for prosecution.
The list was submitted by Tony Ojukwu, who is the NHRC’s
Executive Secretary.
According to Ojukwu, the list is an extract of the full
report of the Special Presidential Panel on SARS which was submitted to
President Muhammadu Buhari, on June 3, 2019.
He said, “In line with the mandate of the panel, the
commission is here today to submit the list to you, the Attorney-General of the
Federation and Minister of Justice, the list of all officers who have been
indicted in the report.
“The list contains the names of all those who are to be
prosecuted for various offences by the Attorney-General of the Federation and
Minister of Justice.”
Ojukwu added that the panel’s report contained the findings
on the complaints gathered from Nigerians from the six-geopolitical zones of
the country.
In response, Malami said his office would do justice to the
list “through prosecution and taking associated incidental administrative
steps”.
