Fayose says army panel report inconsequential
A current event!
You're referring to the statement made by Ayodele Fayose, a former Governor of Ekiti State in Nigeria, regarding the report of the Army Panel on the alleged killing of two persons by soldiers in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital.
According to reports, Fayose described the report as "inconsequential" and "a mere whitewash" because it failed to hold the soldiers responsible for the killings accountable. He also accused the Nigerian Army of trying to cover up the incident.
The Army Panel had earlier submitted its report to the Ekiti State Government, which concluded that the soldiers acted in self-defense and that the two persons killed were not innocent civilians as claimed by Fayose.
Fayose, however, has rejected the report, saying that it was biased and aimed at exonerating the soldiers involved in the killings. He has also called for a thorough investigation into the incident and the prosecution of those responsible for the killings.
This development is a reflection of the ongoing tensions between the Nigerian government and some state governments, particularly those controlled by the opposition party, over issues of security and human rights.
