LAGOS (Reuters) - The judicial panel investigating police brutality and the shooting of protesters in Lagos convened on Monday, promising neutrality and justice.
Independent investigations into police abuses were a core demand of the protesters who demonstrated nationwide for more than two weeks. Peaceful protests turned violent on Oct. 20, when witnesses and groups such as Amnesty International said soldiers opened fire at protesters, killing some. The army denied its troops were there.
