The United Nations, UN, has called on the Federal Government
of Nigeria to implement the recommendation of the Judicial Panel of Inquiry and
Restitution set up to investigate issues surrounding the #EndSARS Protests of
2020.
Edward Kallon, the UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator
in Nigeria, said this in a statement in Abuja on Wednesday.
Kallon also noted that the submission of the report of the
panel was a welcome development.
He said, “I welcome the submission to the Lagos State
Governor, H.E. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, of the reports of the judicial panel on
claims of brutality and shooting in the Lekki area of Lagos State, during the
2020 #EndSARS protests.”
Kallon said that the submission of the findings of the
judicial panel would accelerate the process of justice and accountability.
He added, “I urge the government to implement the
recommendations of the judicial panel of inquiry to rebuild trust and start the
process of healing and reconciliation.”
In June 2020, soldiers and police officers shot some EndSARS
protesters at the Lekki Tollgate in Lagos State.
The incident had led to a widespread protest across the
country.
A panel was later set up to probe the incident and it has
submitted its report.
