The case filed by the police is designed to stall hearings at the various panels of Inquiry across the country. They may begin to raise objections that there is a pending lawsuit on the subject and that the panels should stay proceedings until the case is determined. #EndSARS 
It is a shameful but cowardly attempt by the police to cover their atrocities. This country has a way of provoking victims to resort to self-help. These panels have offered many victims of police brutality some form of closure. The Buhari regime is playing with fire. #EndSARS
The federal government cannot set-up commissions of Inquiry in the 36 States. It can only do so for the FCT. That was the position taken by the Supreme Court in 2003 in the case of Fawehinmi V. Babangida which reaffirmed the 1963 decision of the Privy Council in Balewa V Doherty.
These panels on SARS/Police abuses are not empowered to punish erring police officers. They are fact finding panels. They can only make recommendations, which only the federal government can implement. It is not correct to say that States are exercising control over the police.
Legally, police officers that are indicted by the panels across the country will be subjected to orderly room trials by the police where the indicted officers are still in active service. That is if the government is interested in implementing the findings of the panels. #EndSARS
However, I restate my position that all the States should make the Instruments under which these panels have been set-up public. The Tribunals of Inquiry Laws of the various States are explicit: panels can only be validly created by Instruments; not by press releases or tweets.
