The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has sued the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) at the Federal High Court in Abuja, accusing it of failing to investigate alleged abuse of office, conflict of interest, and irregularities in the amendment of the Electoral Act and the passage of the new tax reform laws.
In the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/634/2026, SERAP is seeking an order of mandamus to compel the CCB to immediately probe lawmakers and executive officials involved in the processes.
SERAP specifically wants the CCB to investigate claims that critical provisions on electronic transmission of election results were secretly removed from the Electoral Act Amendment Bill, as well as alleged discrepancies between the tax reform bills passed by the National Assembly and the versions signed into law.
The group is also asking the CCB to refer any public officers found guilty of violating the Code of Conduct to the Code of Conduct Tribunal for prosecution.
“Public officers hold their offices in trust for the people and must not deploy official power for personal or sectional advantage,” SERAP said in a statement on Sunday, April 5, 2026.No date has been fixed for the hearing.
