Governor, Seyi Makinde.
The Government of Oyo State has created an email
account and a section on the state’s website for residents of the
state to report incidences of police violations and
brutality.
Residents of the state can report cases of police violations via
the email address, reportpolice@mail.oyostate.gov.ng or
through the link on the Oyo State
website, https://oyostate.gov.ng/reportpolice/, where they can
fill out a form.
The state government, in a statement on Sunday, said that plans
are already afoot to set up a judicial panel that will look into
the various forms of abuses and violations th at are reported.

It stated that the names of members of the panel would be
announced shortly.
According to the statement, the Governor of Oyo, Engineer Seyi
Makinde, gave this directive at the weekend in line with his
earlier stance that the genuine grievances of the #EndSARS
protesters, which bother on police brutality, must be addressed by
the government.
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr.
Taiwo Adisa, indicated that the development also followed a
directive to governors to set up judicial panels to probe
incidences of police brutality in their states.
The statement further disclosed that the platform is domiciled
in the Office of the Governor and that it is aimed at
demonstrating Governor Makinde’s determination to address the
menace of police brutality, rights abuse, and extortion, with a
bird’s-eye view monitoring mechanism.
