#EndSARS: Oyo creates platforms to report rights violations

The Government of Oyo State has created an email account and a section on the state’s website for residents of the state to report incidences of police violations and brutality.

Residents of the state can report cases of police violations via the email address, reportpolice@mail.oyostate. gov.ng or through the link on the Oyo State website, https://oyostate.gov.ng/ reportpolice/, where they can fill out a form.

The state government, in a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Taiwo Adisa, on Sunday, said that plans were already afoot to set up a judicial panel that will look into the various forms of abuses and violations that are reported.

It stated that names of members of the panel would be announced shortly.

The statement further disclosed that the platform is domiciled in the Office of the Governor and that it is aimed at demonstrating the state governor’s determination to address the menace of police brutality, rights abuse and extortion, with a bird’s-eye view monitoring mechanism.
