SERAP sues INEC over N126bn electoral funds
SERAP has sued INEC at the Federal High Court in Abuja for failing to account for over N126.46 billion in electoral funds. The suit seeks a court order compelling INEC to disclose full details of how the money was spent, including payments, beneficiaries, contractors and their owners, following findings in the Auditor-General's 2023 report about irregular procurements, lack of competitive bidding, missing evidence of supplies, possible diversion and inflation of costs.
