The Lagos State Judicial Panel on Restitution for Victims of Special Anti-Robbery Squad related abuses and other matters on Saturday suspended its sitting until further notice.
Chairman of the Panel, Justice Doris Okuwobi (retd), revealed the decision of the body set up by the Lagos State Government.
Okuwobi explained that the panel needed the time off to collate and evaluate petitions already heard.
The suspension of the sitting is coming 27 working days to its October 19 deadline.
Okuwobi said: “There are two reports that we are expected to work on.
“We are not close enough to any of them.
“We cannot continue with the sitting and end the assignment without concluding.
“So, we will not be sitting from today.
“We have to collate and evaluate petitions already heard so as to make findings and recommendations, even on the Lekki shooting.
“But as soon as we find ourselves in a comfortable situation, we will send hearing notices for cases that have been listed.
“Please bear with us.
“We cannot speculate on any further extension.
“We have to work towards completing the assignment as early as we can.
“This is without any prejudice to us coming back to conclude on part-heard cases.
“Dates will be communicated to petitioners who have petitions pending.”
