The Lagos State government has set up a medical panel to review the circumstances leading to the death of the Akwa Ibom State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Waheed Ayilara.
The state’s Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi, disclosed this in a statement on Saturday in Lagos.

“This panel is headed by the Chief Medical Director of LASUTH, Prof. Adetokunbo Fabanwo.
“It will submit a comprehensive report on the matter in seven days.
“We share the grief and understand the anxiety that this news may have caused.
“We assure the public that the Lagos State government is committed to ensuring a thorough investigation.”
The commissioner noted that Ayilara’s death was a shock that brought profound sadness to all.
“Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on behalf of the Government and the good people of Lagos State, extends his heartfelt condolences to Ayilara’s family, loved ones, the Police and the Government and people of Akwa Ibom State during this difficult time,” he added.
