The United States of America has called on the Federal and Lagos State governments to implement the recommendation of the Judicial Panel of Inquiry and Restitution set up by Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu to investigate events surrounding the #EndSARS Protests of October 2020.

In a statement released on its Nigerian Embassy Twitter handle @USinNigeria, The US hailed the panel’s report, calling it a welcome development.

The statement reads, “The United States welcomes the conclusion of the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry with the transmission of its final report. We look forward to the Lagos State government’s response as part of a process that represents an important mechanism of accountability regarding the #EndSARS protests and the events that took place near the Lekki Toll Gate on October 20, 2020.

Those events led to serious allegations against some members of the security forces, and we look forward to the Lagos State and federal governments taking suitable measures to address those alleged abuses as well as the grievances of the victims and their families.”

Recall that the Lagos State Panel of Judicial Inquiry in its final report confirmed the murder of innocent protesters by members of the Nigerian Army and Police at the Lekki Tollgate on the 20th of October, 2020.
