This directive comes amid growing public outrage following revelations that the Commissioner’s name appeared in official court documents facilitating the suspect’s release.

The committee is chaired by Barrister Aminu Hussain, Special Adviser on Justice and Constitutional Matters, and is tasked with investigating the circumstances surrounding the bail process and recommending immediate actions.
