The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) asks Nigeria’s Senate President Godswill Akpabio and House of Representatives Speaker Tajudeen Abbas to refer allegations involving ₦6.3 billion meant for constituency projects to relevant anti-corruption agencies for investigation. SERAP says the funds may have been diverted, misapplied, or left unaccounted for. In its request, SERAP also indicates that the matter should be treated as one that could lead to prosecution if wrongdoing is established. The call follows SERAP’s concerns that constituency project funds have not been properly accounted for. Both outlets report that SERAP’s intervention is directed at the top leadership of the two chambers, seeking formal steps to trigger a probe. The position presented is that legal and accountability processes should be activated through anti-corruption institutions rather than handled internally. At the time of reporting, the articles focus on SERAP’s demands and do not provide details of any findings by investigative bodies.
