Two petitioners who brought a case of police brutality before the Kwara state judicial panel of inquiry on #EndSARS protest sitting in Ilorin Monday urged the panel to establish the violation of their fundamental human rights by the police.

The petitioners, Shuaib Oba Jawando and Alhaji Kehinde Gobir claimed in their petitions that they were arrested and interrogated for alleged involvement in the April 5th, 2018 blood Offa bank robbery.

They also claimed that they were interrogated by men of the disbanded SARS under dehumanizing conditions in Ilorin and Abuja offices.

Giving his final submission before the panel petitioner’s counsel Abdullahi Jimba said that all that was written in the respondent (police)’s address was not related to the petition.

The counsel also said that the respondent address is aimed at attacking the territorial jurisdiction of the judicial panel, urging the panel members to discountenance the address in its entirety.

Earlier, the respondent counsel, Adekunle Iwalaye, sought relief from the panel to dismiss Jawando and Gobir’s petitions in its entirety.

The chairman of the panel retired Justice Tunde Garba, later assured that the petitions would be dealt with appropriately.
