The Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Kazeem Adeniji, gave the charge at the inaugural sitting of the tribunal. Adeniji charged the tribunal members to be fearless and ensure that everybody has a chance‎ to give their suggestions.

The two persons were discharged after the prosecution led by Mr. Cyril Ejiofor, from Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, SCIID, Panti-Yaba, informed the court that they were exonerated by the investigation conducted by the police.
