SERAP Put To Task Over Identity   

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has been put to task over its legitimate claims to advancing truth and accountability in the polity following issues over its proper name.

The leading canvasser for accountability in the polity found itself on the other side of answerability when its officials recently appeared before the FCT High Court, Maitama.

SERAP it appears has been boxed into a corner over its well known identity after it resorted to technicalities in the case before it and the Department of State Services, DSS over its claim that officials of the agency invaded its office.

A source privy to the development between the DSS staff and SERAP noting the technical ambiguities raised by SERAP to escape responsibility over its media assertions that DSS invaded its offices said:

“At the resumed hearing of the case instituted against it by DSS aggrieved staff, SERAP denied being SERAP. Meanwhile, in the offensive posts SERAP put out, which injured the reputation of the complainants, it said ‘DSS Raids SERAP Office’ and ‘DSS invades SERAP Office’ but now it is insisting that it must be referred to as ‘Registered Incorporated Trustees of SERAP’ denying its own name which it uses.

“Basically, it is assessed that it is doing so to evade justice. It is ironic that SERAP, an advocate for accountability, does not want to account for its actions. However, in accordance with the rules, parties were directed to file all preliminary arguments for consideration on 10th February 2025.

“As it doesn’t want the matter to proceed to trial, discerning Nigerians are observing how SERAP would wriggle itself out of the Accountability test the complainants want to subject him to.”
