The Nigeria Police Force (NPF), which denied knowledge of the lawsuit which sought to truncate the states panel of enquiry instituted against the police brutality, has applied to withdraw the suit on Friday.
The NPF lawyer had filed a case in the court to stop various panels probing allegations of rights abuses and other acts of impunity by police officials, particularly men of the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).
The suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/1492/2020 was filed on November 9, 2020, by the NPF, through its lawyer, O. M. Atoyebi (SAN).

In the notice of discontinuance filed early on Friday by a lawyer to the NPF, Festus Ibude, reads: “Take notice that the plaintiff herein intends to and doth hereby wholly withdraws its suit against all the defendants.”
