#EndSARS: Outrage As Lagos State Governor Issues Oath of Secrecy Form To Youth Reps

Nigerian youths have opposed the oath of secrecy issued to their representatives on the Lagos panel probing the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).

The judicial body was constituted by the state government on October 15.

Rinu Oduala and Temitope Majekodunmi, the Youth representative, joined the Lagos Panel of Enquiry and Restitution for Victims on Tuesday.

The oath given to them to sign leaked to social media and respondents are upset.

Many have insisted that details of hearings must be made public. Meanwhile, the panel reportedly withdrew the oath before swearing in the youth reps.

Moe Odele, an End SARS advocate and co-founder of the Feminist Coalition, gave the update.

Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) President Olumide Apata, journalists, observers, among others, were at the venue of the sitting.

Oduala, Majekodunmi, and other panel members are tasked with listening to SARS survivors’ submissions, interrogating the accused personnel, and determining the veracity of all claims.
