The panel said it would begin public hearing today (Monday) in Ilorin, the state capital.
Chairman of the panel, Justice I. B. Garba (retd.) said the hearing would hold between 10 a.m and 4 p.m daily.
Justice Garba said: “The general public is hereby informed that those to appear include all those who have earlier submitted memoranda and those willing to give oral complaints on police brutality, human rights abuses and extra-judicial killings.”
