The Lagos State Judicial Panel on Restitution for victims of SARS and other related matters on Saturday listed six petitions, for hearing.
Of the six, only two could be heard. In the first petition of Canaan Chukwuezi, the counsel to the Nigerian Police, Joseph Eboseremen told the panel that this was the second time the case was being called but the petitioner was absent just as he was the first time.
The counsel asked the panel to strike out the petition for a lack of diligent prosecution.
The counsel to the panel, Jonathan Ogunsanya, however, pleaded that the petitioner is given the very last opportunity to appear and present his case.
