The Lagos judicial panel on police brutality has attributed the errors in its final report on the computer even as it said the state government was trying to evade responsibility by citing the errors in its White Paper.

According to the panel’s report, protesters were killed at the Lekki tollgate on October 20, 2020 in what could be described in context as a “massacre”.

In a white paper on the report, the Lagos government accepted 11 out of the 32 recommendations of the panel, rejected one and accepted six with modifications.

The Lagos government also said the finding of the panel that nine persons died is “irreconcilable” with the testimony of John Obafunwa, a pathologist.

Responding to the Lagos government’s white paper in a statement released by a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, EBUN-OLU ADEGBORUWA, the panel said the state could have reached out to members for clarifications where necessary.
