The National Economic Council (NEC) has directed the establishment of judicial panels of inquiry across the country to investigate complaints of police brutality or extra judicial killings.
According to Laolu Akande, spokesman of Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, the directive was given at a meeting attended by governors and chaired by the nation’s number two citizen.
Akande said the move is to deliver justice for all victims of the dissolved special anti-robbery squad (SARS) and other police units.
He said judicial panels, which would be set up in all the states, would include representatives of youths, students, civil society organisations and would be chaired by a retired judge.
