The Governor in his remarks assured of prompt implementation of the reports for adequate restitution.
Governor Makinde said he would grant scholarship to the 23 year-old who was falsely accused of stealing a banker’s wallet and brutalised by men of the defunct SARS which later resulted to blindness
In his presentation the Panel’s chairman, Justice Badejoko Adeniji, noted that 151 petitions were received but 121 petitions were heard to finality while 30 petitions were struck out due to unverified facts.
