SERAP made the request known in a statement issued by its Deputy Director, Kolawole Oluwadare, adding that President Buhari should direct the Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami to carry out the investigation.
The group wants the Minister to also investigate ministries, departments and agencies and members of the National Assembly suspected to be responsible for inserting thirty nine point five billion Naira for apparently the three hundred and sixteen duplicated and mysterious projects in the 2021 budget.
It said any of such investigation should establish whether public funds have been mismanaged, diverted or stolen in the guise of implementing the projects.
SERAP also said anyone suspected to be responsible should face prosecution as appropriate, if there is sufficient admissible evidence, and any stolen public funds should be fully recovered.
