In a statement issued by its Deputy Director, Kolawole Oluwadara, SERAP called on the President to direct the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami and the Minister of Finance, Zainab Ahmed to ensure the recovered loot is published.
SERAP said publishing the details regarding the eight hundred billion naira recovered loot and investigating the alleged suspicious payments into personal accounts would be entirely consistent with fundamental principles of due process, and Nigeria’s international anti-corruption commitments.
It also wants the Federal Government to direct appropriate anti-corruption agencies to promptly, thoroughly and transparently investigate allegations that payments totaling N51bn were made into individual accounts in 2019.
SERAP noted that the information will also reveal the truth of where the money is going and why it is there, and allow Nigerians an opportunity to assess the impacts of any projects carried out with the recovered loot and the alleged payments into individual accounts.
