The Governor of Lagos State posted an update on Twitter about the above, which says:
Dear Lagosians,

For the clarification of the general public and in view of the inauguration of The Judicial of Inquiry and Restitution into SARS Abuses happening tomorrow, I want to put out the of reference of the .

The ToR are essentially the following...

* To listen to & take evidence from all victims or the families of victims of SARS abuse within Lagos State (somewhat akin to what the Truth and Reconciliation Committee did in some countries). This would enable all victims & their families air and vent their grievances in public.

* The Judicial after listening to victims or their families would then determine whether any victim or the dependents of such victims are entitled to compensation and the amount of compensation payable.

* Upon determining the compensation payable, the Judicial is to immediately issue a check in favour of the victim or their dependents.

* The Judicial is also to determine the officers (or anyone for that matter) responsible for abusing any victim and to recommend the prosecution of such persons.

* The shall also have powers to make recommendations to Government on how to ensure that the Police and all security agencies never abuse the rights of citizens again.

* The has the powers to compel and summon witnesses to appear before it. The State Government expects the to use these powers to ensure that all necessary parties appear before the to testify.

We identify wholeheartedly with the calls for reforms of the Police. A better run and istered Police force would undoubtedly be to the advantage of the Government and all residents of the state.

Our stance is Zero tolerance for Police Brutality. The setting up of the Judicial is a very important step in the journey to reforming the Police. We urge all citizens of Lagos to partner with us in this journey.

We appreciate and recognize the efforts of the youths which has made this necessary change inevitable.

Together, we will #EndPoliceBrutality and reform the Police #ForAGreaterLagos.

Let us not be surprised when we have to face difficulties. When the wind blows hard on a tree, the roots stretch and grow the stronger, Let it be so with us. Let us not be weaklings, yielding to every wind that blows, but strong in spirit to resist.

Resistance to tyranny is service to God.

XOXO

Wayward Pikin.

when I say Lagos is a country of its own them go dey yimu...you see am, proactive decisions with the citizens interest first, this is how to curtail excesses when it comes to the power crazy armed robbers/ serial killers we have as security agents

the should be swift and decisive, any officer found guilty should be prosecuted and send to prison and they should tatoo dismissed SARS on his fore head so inmates will know what to do with him or her in prison .

and they should start wearing bodycam that will help stop the madness because every report that comes in will have a video feed to back the story ...no more dem say dem say.

see to advance is not hard but the powers that be won't let that happen in Nigeria because they have to keep the status quo.

personally, I feel if this is done right, it's going to put a direction to this #endsars campaign,

now I have read,watch and heard stories of how police brutalize torture and kill people, if that can be proven and compensation issued, that would be a start... because the #endsars protest is not just about sars..

my other concern however is how much evidence can you keep from a police who shot your friend a year ago, how can you prove a police man took you to the ATM and asked you to withdraw for them a month ago,

they are the ones to gather that evidence, I don't think I have seen anybody washing his wound in a way it would pain him..

the only evidence we can get is getting the incident on camera,

This of reference is absolutely flawed

* The Judicial after listening to victims or their
families would then determine whether any victim or the
dependents of such victims are entitled to compensation
and the amount of compensation payable
.

Sparogatively, this is a perfunctory, egregious set-up by the Lagos state government.

How can you think you can compensate for life?
How can you "Prize" the amount a family would be getting as compensation

The has the powers to compel and summon
witnesses to appear before it
. The State Government
expects the to use these powers to ensure that all
necessary parties appear before the to testify.

Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, you have no right to force or compel any witness to appear before the . Some families are still wallowing in shock of the gruesome murder of their loved ones and the false allegations the police tagged them with.
Some, 4 years after their loved ones death are still traumatized. Would you compel a traumatized witness to appear before your ?

Sparogatively, this is just a slipshod! Go and do your homework well!

I see Good Intentions, but this is a wrong approach!
