#EndSARS: Police withdraws suit seeking to stop the Judicial Panels of Inquiry
The Nigeria police force (NPF) has applied to withdraw the suit challenging the legality of the judicial panels set up to probe allegations of brutality and human rights abuses against the force.
In a suit marked FHC/ ABJ/CS/1492/2020 and filed by O.M Atoyebi, police counsel, the force had argued that the establishment of panels of inquiry by state governors to investigate its activities was illegal and unconstitutional. It asked the court to restrain the defendants from conducting any investigation to probe the affairs of the security agency.
However, on Thursday, December 3, the Inspector-General of Police, Adamu Mohammed, expressed his disapproval over the suit and ordered an investigation. He also issued a query to the Legal officer of the police.
In a notice of discontinuance filed by Festus Ibude, police counsel, on Friday, the police told the court that it wishes to withdraw the suit against all the defendants.
“Take notice that the plaintiff herein intends to and doth hereby wholly withdraws its suit against all the defendants,” the notice read.
This is absurd….. May God save us all in this country and also judge us with our behavior and attitudes…..
Every time you people keep confusing yourself.
Shame on you (police), as you don’t even Know what to do. How would you ask the panel of enquiry to investigation on killing of the people by the police force?
This government is confused in every aspect, they need to consult right people before taking any steps. They are just disgrace to themselves.
Is it bad to find out your atrocities committed by you? You are just looking for a way to cover your evil deed.
If you like withdraw it, if you like don’t withdraw it. Bad governance and leadership here and there.
What the hell on earth even gave them the impetus to institute that suit the first place
I think by now the person in police that initiated that suit should have been suspended and if possible sacked after
Have you people forgotten that other countries are looking at you…our government are just shame to our nation…like seriously inspector general of police is not capable on this job again. You are shame to our great Nigeria.
