The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has demanded that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) account for an estimated ₦126.46 billion in public funds meant for electoral operations, but allegedly misused, lost, or unaccounted for. The request was made in a letter to INEC Chairman Prof Joash Amupitan, urging him and the commission to provide evidence of the funds' allocation, beneficiaries, contracts, and the current status of the related goods and services.
SERAP warned that if no response is given within seven days, they would take legal action to compel compliance.
