Officer representing Army at Lagos EndSARS Judicial Panel promoted to Major-General

Ibrahim Taiwo, the officer representing the Nigerian army at the panel the Lagos state government set up to probe the Lekki shooting has been promoted from brigadier-general to a major-general.

Recall EFFIEZY reported, Nigerian Army promoted 39 brigadiers, 97 colonels, 285 others and  brigadier-general Taiwo’s name made the list.

Following the protest to end police brutality, the Lagos government set up the panel to look into allegations of rights abuses by the police special anti-robbery squad (SARS).

But the shooting of protesters at Lekki on October 20,2020 has been on the forefront at the panel, and Taiwo, commander of the army 81 division intelligence brigade, has been the one making a defence for the soldiers’ action.
