Nwachukwu said the panel was constituted following the directive of President Muhammadu Buhari for an investigation into the incident.
The panel recommended that there were infractions and poor communication between personnel of the Police and troops of the Nigeria Army. it also recommended that the Army and other security agencies establish an Interagency Liaison Desk to include senior officers for timely resolution of future misdemeanour.
