23 Nov Presidency explains how #EndSARS Reports will be handled

The Presidency has said that the Federal Government will address all areas of concern in the White Paper report on the recently submitted Lagos Judicial Panel on Inquiry on Police Brutality and other related matters.

This was made known by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, yesterday on a Channels Television Breakfast Programme, Sunrise Daily.

Adesina said the Federal Government will wait till the submission of the reports from the states before it could address areas of concern.

He said, “What would happen is that when the states come up with pronouncements on that panel report that would then be of interest to the Federal Government.

“Definitely, when the reports come out the issues that are Federal in nature will be considered. There are some things that would be Federal in nature, the Federal Government would tackle that but things that are state in nature, the state government will handle.

“There is an Attorney General of the Federation who will advise and the needful would be done.’’

When asked what the Federal Government was doing with the Judicial Panel report that had been submitted by some states, Adesina said he is not aware if some states that have completed their inquiry have so far submitted any report to the Federal Government.
