Barely nine days after opening a platform for people across the state to report incidence of police violation and brutality, Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde said no fewer than 46 people have lodged complaints.
Encouraging others to follow suit, he said the complaints would serve as materials for the Judicial Panel of Inquiry to be set up latest by next week to work with.
Makinde spoke on Tuesday during a meeting with representatives of EndSARS protesters, artisans, commercial cab and motorcyclist operators and youths across the state.
