The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to direct the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice ABUBAKAR MALAMI and appropriate anti-corruption agencies to investigate allegations of mismanagement of security votes by state governors since 1999.
SERAP said anyone suspected to be responsible should face prosecution as appropriate, if there is sufficient evidence and any mismanaged public funds should be fully recovered.
SERAP in a letter by its Deputy Director, Kolawole Oluwadare, said the most effective way to demonstrate the repeated commitments to address the insecurity in the country is to promptly probe allegations of corruption in the spending of security votes by state governors.
