Oyo State Judicial Panel of Inquiry on Police Brutality has ordered the Officer in charge of Legal Department of Nigeria Police in Oyo State, Mrs Funke Fawole to compile all services from the panel and act accordingly.
The order is coming in response to the attitude of the command which has been rejecting services of hearing notices served on them.
The chairman of the panel, Retired Justice Badejoko Adeniji who gave the order at the sitting of the panel said police must respect any means of service from the panel.
Justice Adeniji frowned at refusal of police in Oyo State to cooperate with the panel.
She therefore appealed to the Officer in charge of Legal Department of the Oyo State Police Command to get all the notices dropped at office of the Commissioner of Police though, she also told the panel’s legal officer to issue fresh hearing on the police.
Earlier, the panel’s Legal Officer, Mrs Folake Ogundele had told the panel that all efforts to serve the office of the Oyo State O/C Legal hearing notice failed as the officers there refused the services hence the need for them to take the notices to the Oyo State Commissioner of Police.
Appearing before the panel, the Officer in Charge of Legal Department of Police in Oyo State, Mrs Funke Fawole denied receipt of services in many of the petitions called at the sitting and appealed to the panel to adjourn the hearing on the petitions.
