As protests against police brutality raged across Nigeria last October, one of the pacifying concessions reached by the state and federal governments was the setting up of judicial panels of inquiry.
The National Executive Council (NEC) headed by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo recommended that the panels be established in the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, with the mandate to look into cases of alleged violations of human rights by the now-disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) and other units of the police.

Adrian Sharpe was found deceased by staff at Andover s Best Western in August 2020.

Speaking at an inquest into the death of her brother, Adrian Sharpe, Honor Dubois said that she was “very disappointed in the Office of the Public Guardian [OPG]” after her brother, who she claimed assaulted their mother while acting as her full-time carer, was left with power of attorney following ‘delays’ at the OPG. “I asked the OPG for help on multiple occasions and they failed,” she said. “They had the reports to get him removed, which they said would take three months, but then they said because of Covid it would be delayed by half a year. I felt it was an excuse as the report is sitting there for them and I’m disappointed they dragged their feet for such a long time.”
