Lagos #EndSARS panel awards N10m to Kolade Johnson’s family

The Lagos judicial panel has awarded the sum of N10 million to the family of one of the many victims of police extrajudicial killing, Kolade Johnson.

Johnson was shot during a raid by police officers at the Onipetesi area in Lagos, while watching an English premiership match between Tottenham and Manchester United on March 31, 2019.

The Lagos state police command later identified the trigger-happy officers as Ogunyemi Olalekan, a police inspector, and Godwin Orji, a sergeant. Following an orderly trial, Olalekan was dismissed from the force after he was found guilty, while Orji was acquitted. Lagos #EndSARS panel awards N10m to Kolade Johnson’s family
