The African Action Congress (AAC) on Wednesday called for the immediate implementation of the recommendations of the Lagos State judicial panel of inquiry on police brutality and shooting of #ENDSARS protesters at Lekki toll gate last year.
The party made the demand in separate statements issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Femi Adeyeye, and its Lagos State Chairman, Kunle Ajayi.
FirstNews had reported that the panel submitted its report to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Monday.
The report indicted the Nigerian Army and Police in the killing of protesters at the Lekki toll gate on October 20, 2020.
The statement read: “The panel report on the Lekki massacre has justified the radical youths and the revolutionary left over the fact that Nigeria needs a revolution at all levels of governance. It glowingly praised how organised and historic the #EndSARS movement has been.
“We equally condemn all those who have been working as agents of government against justice especially those who have done everything to thwart the cause of justice. The world is now speedy in the search for a new life. Nigeria will never be left behind.
“We as a party have continued to condemn the injustice and high-handedness of this regime as it continues to use excessive force on protesters but kid gloves on terrorists who have ravaged our entire space.
“The wicked decision of the Buhari regime which was hatched in Lagos, to halt a protest of armless citizens who have only stood against police brutality, is a confirmation of its irresponsibility.”
