The Osun Judicial Panel of Inquiry on Police Brutality, Human Rights Violations and Related Extra Judicial Killings on Friday said that evidence brought before it by petitioners since it was constituted had shown that the Nigeria Police Force are the cog in the wheel of Nigeria’s progress
Addressing journalists shortly after the panel resumed sitting on Friday, the chairman of the panel, Justice Akinwale David Oladimeji berated the attitude and misconduct of  some officers and men of  Nigeria Police Force.
 
Oladimeji said it has received thirty petitions so far.
The Panel reiterated its commitment to ensuring fair hearing and justice in all the petitions received within the time frame of stipulated six months.
The chairman of the panel noted that the evidence gathered so far show that police are the cog in the wheel of Nigeria’s progress
Oladimeji said it was unfortunate that most of the cases received were premised on the non- execution and non-implementation of court verdicts against police.
He said: “A lot of things have been exposed about the conduct and activity of the Nigeria Police.
“From the evidence we have gathered so far, it appears that it is some of the Police officers and men that are the cog in the wheel of progress of this country; that is my belief”.
Speaking on the proceedings so far, the Chairman of the Panel said some cases have been concluded while others have been treated for fair hearings.
He reafirmed the panel’s commitment to adjudicating justice within the period allocated to conclude all the hearings of all the petitions and cases before it.
