Nigeria has been accused of wrongdoing in the EndSars fatalities.

Six months after a court tribunal indicted security personnel in the killing of EndSars protesters in 2020, Nigerian authorities have been accused of neglecting to provide justice.

Human Rights Watch has charged the government with implementing the panel's findings and holding those responsible accountable.

"The report of the judicial panel of inquiry should not be ignored without any consequences for those who killed and injured demonstrators," the statement read.

Failure to act on the panel's findings, it added in a statement, would send a devastating message to victims and risk promoting future aggression by security agents.

Hundreds of young people came to the streets of Nigeria's major cities in October 2020 to demand the disbandment of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (Sars), a police force infamous for its brutality.

Security personnel was accused of using excessive force, including gunshots, in their response.

One of the deadliest crackdowns occurred at the Lekki toll gate in Lagos, where army and police forces allegedly opened fire on a gathering of protestors, killing several people.

In November of last year, a tribunal established by the Lagos state government in the aftermath of the protests found that security officers shot, maimed, and killed unarmed protesters.

It suggested that army and police officers involved be disciplined and prosecuted, as well as that victims be compensated.

The report was disputed but the Lagos state government said it fully or partially accepted all but one of the panel's recommendations, promising to act.
