In an interview with Channels TV, the Minister of State for Labour and Employment called the panels illegal.

Nigerians are not happy with President Muhammadu Buhari’s Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo after he described all Endsars panels setup in Nigeria as illegal. 

In an interview with Channels TV, Festus Keyami, the Minister of State for Labour and Employment stated that the state government cannot examine the conduct of police officers and military personnel in response to an investigation relating to the government’s position on an alleged repot by the Lagos Judical panel. 

His statement which didn’t sit well with Nigerians has evoked several mixed reactions from them. 

They wondered why he isn’t concerned about the main aim of the panel but rather the legality of it.

Of course they have been looking for ways to discredit the report all these while bc they didn’t see it coming, the report was a big blow under the belt for them. Would he say this if the report had favoured the govt? No be only u be lawyer or SAN nah, falana will speak too

Focus on it’s findings and subsequent report, it may be “illegal” but should we dismiss these heart wrenching Revelations on the basis of your argument. You my friend are a government agent who is working hard to support your government’s position on the #EndSars massacre.
