SERAP seeks probe of alleged hoarding of COVID-19 palliatives

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project has asked the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission to investigate circumstances surrounding the alleged hoarding of COVID-19 palliatives in warehouses in several states, which ought to have been distributed to the poorest and most vulnerable people during the lockdown.SERAP’s petition followed reports that some people have discovered and taken away COVID-19 palliatives stored in warehouses in several states.

In the petition dated October 24, 2020, and signed by SERAP Deputy Director Kolawole Oluwadare, the organisation said: “It would seem that Nigerian authorities asked people to stay at home as a protective lockdown measure but then failed to discharge a legal responsibility to timely, effectively, and transparently distribute COVID-19 palliatives to ease the hardship faced by the poorest and most vulnerable people.

SERAP argued: “Tracking, monitoring, and ensuring COVID-19 palliatives are timely, effectively, and efficiently distributed to those most in need would improve transparency and accountability, respect for human rights, as well as remove the possibility of political considerations or bribery in the distribution of the palliatives.”

SERAP also urged the ICPC to visit the states where COVID-19 palliatives have been discovered in warehouses and to track and monitor the distribution of palliatives across the 36 states of the country, and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja to remove the risks of diversion and ensure that the palliatives get to those most in need, and not used for political or corrupt purposes.

SERAPNigeria Yet the same bloody SERAP is against fining of irresponsible Tv stations for spreading sensational and false reportage for ENDSARS. Enough is enough!

Mmanwu

Please start with Enugu State governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi. Many were killed yesterday just of palliatives.
