Segun Awosanya, better known as Segalink, a member of the Lagos judicial panel on EndSARS, has accused the federal government of not being ready for justice in relation to the findings of the panel.
Lai Mohammed, minister of information, while reacting to the EndSARS and police brutality report of the panel setup by the Lagos state government said the outcome is full of “discrepancies, errors, speculations and inconsistencies”, and dismissed it as “fake news”.
Reacting, Segalink, while speaking on Tuesday when he featured on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’, said the report of the panel was a “professional” work carried out by people of “integrity.
He said: “Whatever term was used in the recommendations or the findings presented to the government — state or federal — was clearly defined in context,”

“And I think that rather than react to the sound of the word or rather than react based on what the word might mean to them literally, they should read the report with understanding and know exactly where the panel is coming from and then do the needful.
“This is a country. This is a democracy and the people seek leadership; leadership that can actually do justice to issues. The essence of the panel itself is not to indict or punish anybody precisely.
“It is actually to bring about findings and recommendations that would ensure and ascertain healing of our society not denials.
“Why would the panel be set up in the first instance if the government knows exactly what went wrong, what happened or what transpired at locus locum? Why would you want to investigate if you already know?
“It is really sad for some of us to hear this because the panel was set up to actually assuage the people, to actually make the public know that the government is sincere enough to engage, to investigate and to come out with findings that they would do something about.

“But all these reactions show that they are not ready to do justice to the work done by the panel. I really won’t want to conclude like I said. It’s best to wait for the official response of the government.
“We’ve submitted to the Lagos state government. He gave his word that in two weeks he is going to respond to that, and after that response, we can have a robust debate on the outcome of that.
“Rather than project, react, catastrophise, I think it’s best we keep our powder dry for now. The panel did a professional work and it speaks for itself.”
