The Lagos State Judiciary Panel Investigating the dissolved Special Anti-Robbery Squad activities, SARS, on Friday has awarded compensation to some victims of police brutality.
The panel gave each affected victim of police brutality the sum of N10 million each.
Among those who received the compensation include Adebayo Abayomi for the extra-judicial killing of his mother, Kudirat Adebayo, and Hannah Olugbodi for getting shot by a police officer.
Cheques were presented to the victims on behalf of the Lagos State Government, presented by the Lagos Judicial Panel chairman, Justice Doris Okwuobi.

Recall the panel has passed a ruling that the Lekki toll gate is repossessed and reopened by the operator, Lekki Concession Company, LCC, which has caused agitation among the youths who said justice had not been served.
According to the youths under the aegis of #EndSARS said their comrade who was allegedly killed by the members of the Nigeria Army had not been served justice as their killers have not been brought to face the full wrath of the law.
Storming the plaza, some youths mobilized under #OccupyLekkiTollGate staged another protest which the Nigeria Police hindered.
Some of the protesters were arrested and brutalized, but they were later released.
