#endsars: Lagos Panel Suspended AS Member’s Account Frozen By CBN



The Lagos State Judicial Panel Of Inquiry set up to address the issue of police brutality has been suspended over the freezing of the bank account of Oluwarinu Oduala, one of the #endsars representatives by the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Oduala, who is one of the arrowheads of the #endsars demonstration, did not show up for the Saturday sitting in protest against the freezing of her bank account by the Central Bank of Nigeria.

You may recall that we earlier reported that the CBN obtained a court order freezing the accounts of Oduala, alongside 19 others over their role during the #endsars protest till January 2021.

The order was pursuant to a motion ex parte filed by the CBN before a Federal High Court.

The chairman of the judicial panel, retired Justice Doris Okuwobi, said the panel would have to suspend Saturday sitting as it could not form a quorum in the absence of the youth member of the panel.



Oduala, who is also on the Lagos panel as a youth representative, withdrew from the panel sitting today in protest of the move by the CBN.

Her action forced the panel to adjourn sitting for a week.
