Rinu Oduala and Majekodunmi Temitope, two Nigerian
youths who have been at the forefront of the fight against police
brutality and extrajudicial killings in the country, have been
selected to join the Lagos Judicial Panel on SARS.

The Lagos State Governor, Babjide Sanwo-Olu announced this on
Tuesday.

According to the governor, this forms part of the government’s
commitment to justice and compensation for victims of police
brutality.

The panel is also expected to bring justice for victims of last
Tuesday’s shootings at the Lekki Toll Gate, which has been one of
the major converging points of the #EndSARS protests.

Meetings are expected to hold on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays
between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm.

This is coming weeks after a series of protests broke out,
demanding an end to police brutality in the country.

As the agitations progressed, there have been calls for the
protesters to produce leaders who would join the government in
finding solutions.

But the protesters insisted that there are no leaders in the
movement, over fears that they could be compromised if
selected.

The development, however, follows a careful selection of people
who many believe will ensure justice is served and the voice of the
youths will be well-represented.

“If you have any claims, do send them to the panel. The panel
will begin to sit on Monday at the Lagos Court of Arbitration
situated in Lekki,” a tweet from an official handle of the new
panel read.
