Information reaching Ibom Focus says that #EndSARS Panel Blames Computer For Errors In Report
The Lagos judicial panel on police brutality has condemned the state government for allegedly trying to evade responsibility by citing computer errors in the #EndSARS report.
In its white paper on the report, the state government accepted 11 out of the 32 recommendations of the panel, rejected one and accepted six with modifications.
Reacting to the government’s white paper in a statement released by Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, the panel said: “The chairperson, all panel members and indeed the secretariat of the Panel were all within the reach of the LASG for clarifications if there was sincerity, other than picking holes in order to evade responsibility on account of computer errors and tabular alignments of cut and paste,”

The panel added: “This was a misnomer from the spreadsheet that ought to have terminated at Page 297 but mistakenly overlapped to Page 298 with the same names and same numbers,”
“It was the computer error of the secretariat of the panel which could have been corrected as the secretariat of the panel was domiciled in the ministry of justice at all times.
“In any event, the mere fact of repetition of same names on a table cannot without more, nullify the uncontroverted evidence of death.
“The panel considered several definitions of the word MASSACRE and adopted one of the dictionary meanings of MASSACRE as being ‘the act or instance of killing a number of usually helpless or unresisting human beings under circumstances of atrocity or cruelty’.
“The Panel considered that firing live bullets at unarmed, peaceful and unresisting protesters which led to the death of some of them, was cruel and atrocious on the part of the military and the police. The White Paper ignored these explanations and findings by the Panel.”
