ENDSARS report circulating disowned by Lagos panel

The leaked report of the Lagos ENDSARS panel circulating in the media hours after it was submitted to Go Babajide Sanwo-Olu has been flagged by a member of the panel.

Temitope Majekodunmi said during an ARISE TV interview that the leaked report did not emanate from any member of the panel.

According to him, the leaked report could be one of those the panel was vetting prior to the presentation of the report to the state governor.

However, he clarified that the contents of the leaked report “is not far from the original”, adding that some corrections were made in the original one.

“There are no two reports. The only report we have is that that we have submitted to the appointing authority on the 15th of November 2021,” he said.

“It is worrisome for us that we had it leaked. I, as the youth rep, was very surprised. We were still at Alausa that very evening when the leaked copy was already in circulation. But then, we felt that it only speaks to more accountability.

“Like I had been saying before now that the content of the leaked report is not far from the original. The facts are same but maybe in the original, most of these errors are corrected.”

He said he was confident the panel was fair, just and the report only speaks to their level of independence and how they have done this without bias.

“ I am the youth rep, we were the main reason why this panel is in place, because of our agitations and all of that but when we had the privilege to sit on the panel, we consistently would tell other panelists that it is not about saying that one person is right or one person is wrong. It is that the panel is saddled with the responsibility to restore peace and hope in the society and that is what this report has confirmed.”
