Head of the state Task Force, Omotayo Ojo, has been summoned by the Lagos Judicial Panel of Investigation and Restitution on SARS and Related Abuses.
According to the panel, the Task Force boss must appear before the panel on January 27.
This is coming as the Chairman of the panel, Justice Doris Okuwobi, also ordered that hearing notice be issued to Ojo.
The request of the police counsel, Cyril Ejiofor that the head of the task force be summoned before the panel was granted by the panel chairman.
The police counsel had posited that persons mentioned in Dr. Oludare Stephens’ petition before the panel are not under the control of the commissioner of police, but the state task force.
He, therefore, maintained that the attention of the head of the Lagos task force is needed in a petition filed by Dr. Oludare Stephens against the Nigeria Police Force for abuses before the panel.
Meanwhile, while resuming proceedings, counsel to the panel, Jonathan Ogunsanya, informed members that Ojo was duly informed that the matter had been scheduled for hearing yesterday.
He expressed surprise over his failure to appear before the panel despite his effort to personally inform him.
 Lagos State was represented at the panel by Olukayode Enitan, while the Nigerian Bar Association was represented by A. C. Eze and Jennifer Esu.
