Chairman of the panel, Justice Suleiman Galadima, during Monday’s sitting, ordered the police to pay the sum immediately based on the judgment of a High delivered on July 10, 2020 which the police have not appealed against.

“The complainant deserves immediate payment. It is therefore ordered that he should be settled immediately without further delay,” Justice Galadima stated.
