President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday said the Federal Government will wait for states to conclude their judicial inquiries in EndSARS protests and police brutality before taking a decision.
Buhari spoke at State House, Abuja, while receiving in audience Mr Antony Blinken, the US Secretary of State.
He said: “So many state governments are involved, and have given different terms of reference to the probe panels,” spokesman, Femi Adesina quoted the president as saying.
“We at the Federal have to wait for the steps taken by the states, and we have to allow the system to work. We can’t impose ideas on them. Federal Government has to wait for the reaction of the states.”
On the recent removal of Nigeria from the watchlist of countries violating religious freedom, which Blinken said was “based on facts,” Buhari expressed the country’s appreciation, noting that there was freedom of worship in Nigeria, and no one is discriminated against on the basis of his or her faith.
