Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has released the White Paper of the report submitted by the ENDSARS panel in the state.
Of the 32 recommendations it made, the government accepted 11, rejected 1 and forwarded 14 to the Federal Government.
Besides, the White Paper regards as an assumption and speculation the panel’s report that nine people were killed at the Lekki Toll Gate.
In statement by Gboyega Akoshile, the Chief Press Secretary to Sanwo-Olu, the government said one of the recommendations of the panel was rejected.
In the statement titled, ‘Highlight of the Lagos Government White Paper On The Lekki Incident Investigation’, he said, “Out of the 32 Recommendations made by the JPI in its Report of 15th November 2021, Government accepted 11, rejected one and accepted six with modifications.
“Fourteen recommendations fall outside the powers of the Lagos State Government and will be forwarded to the Federal Government for consideration. Let the healing begin.”
The Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry on Restitution for Victims of SARS-related Abuses and Other Matters had on November 15, 2021, submitted its report after which Sanwo-Olu set up a White Paper committee.
