Popular Nigerian singer and activist, Falz recently took to social media to update fans on the progress made
In a short clip, Falz revealed that the presidency had approved that a judicial panel of inquiry should be set up that would look into all cases of police brutality in the state.
He said that the panel is to make them all have a sit-down and listen to victims of police brutality who would share their stories with pieces of evidence.
The singer said that the evidences would be collected and the offending officers would be prosecuted by the attorney general of the state if it is a criminal offense.

Falz also said that when a police officer shoots, it would be treated as murder and when they beat people to stupor it would be termed as torture and when they take people to ATMs to forcefully withdraw money at gunpoint it would be termed as armed robbery.
The rapper said that these offenses are in the jurisdiction of state offenses and the attorney general of the state can prosecute.
He also warned people not to listen to their governors if they give excuses for not prosecuting such crimes.
The rapper went ahead to advise people to select a youth representative in their state to be at the panel so as to monitor things and keep people informed.

“Many people don’t understand the need for the state panels being set up. I think it’s a step towards achieving number 2 & 3 on our #5for5 and towards getting Justice for everyone that has been wronged!”
