The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) sues Nigeria’s Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) at the Federal High Court in Abuja, alleging that INEC has failed to account for more than ₦126bn in electoral funds.
SERAP says the amount, described in reports as ₦126bn or ₦126.46bn, was appropriated for electoral operations. It alleges diversion or mismanagement of funds intended to cover items such as ballot boxes, electoral devices and materials, sensitive materials and result sheets, as well as vehicles and accreditation devices.
Across the outlets, the central point is SERAP’s legal action and the specific figure it cites as “missing” or unaccounted for. The reports do not indicate any court ruling yet, nor do they detail INEC’s response in the provided accounts. The dispute centers on accountability for expenditure linked to electoral logistics and related supplies.
