The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) urges Nigeria’s electoral and anti-corruption agencies—INEC, EFCC and ICPC—to urgently investigate reported cases of vote-buying and violence linked to the 2026 Osun State governorship election.
SERAP also calls for scrutiny of other alleged electoral offences, including financial inducement, illegal election financing and voter intimidation, and it asks the investigations to be conducted jointly and transparently. The outlet reports present the demand as part of SERAP’s broader push for accountability and oversight of conduct during elections.
Across the two accounts, both frame SERAP’s intervention similarly, emphasizing the same set of agencies and the same types of alleged misconduct. Neither report provides additional findings from INEC, EFCC or ICPC or details of confirmed violations, focusing instead on SERAP’s request for probes into the allegations.
