This is after treating 14 criminal and 63 petitions bordering on human rights violation.
The chairman, Retired Justice Adesola Sidiq made this known while submitting the panel’s report to governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu in Akure.

The justice said Akure South, Ondo West, Odigbo and Okitipupa were the four most affected local government areas.
