Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on Tuesday named a 10-person judicial panel of investigation on EndSARS protesters allegations.

The panel is to look into the complaints of police brutality, human rights abuses and extrajudicial killings by the #EndSARS protesters.

The development follows a recommendation of the National Economic Council for each state to constitute a panel to receive and investigate complaints from the #EndSARS coalition, make recommendations to prosecute erring persons, and recommend compensations for victims or their families, among other things.

The chairman of the panel is retired Justice Tunde Garba, according to a statement by the Governor’s spokesman Rafiu Ajakaye.
