The Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike and state governors are accused of allegedly failing to account for the billions of naira spent as security votes since May 29, 2023, in a lawsuit brought by the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project.
Despite receiving substantial public funding each year for security votes, including reports of widespread mass murders in Benue State and other violent incidents all over the country, SERAP claimed the suit was brought on by persistent insecurity across several states and the FCT.
Kolawole Oluwadare, SERAP’s deputy director, disclosed this in a statement released on Sunday.
The governors and the FCT minister are required by the court to make public information about how security votes collected since May 29, 2023, as requested in the lawsuit FHC/ABJ/CS/95/2026.

Additionally, the organization is asking for an order mandating the release of detailed reports on the progress of projects funded by security votes as well as any plans to improve security infrastructure in their states and the FCT.
At least 10 governors reportedly allocated about N140 billion for the same purpose in the 2026 budget year, compared to the over N400 billion that is budgeted annually as security votes across the nation, according to SERAP.
According to SERAP, Nigerians have a right to know how public funds used to protect property and lives.
The governors and the FCT minister should be aware of how public funds, including security votes, are spent, according to the organization.
SERAP warned that vulnerable Nigerians were being severely affected by the growing insecurity, worsening poverty, hunger, and human rights violations.
According to the statement, “The escalating insecurity in several states and the FCT is causing a devastating toll on Nigerians’ socially and economically vulnerable,” adding that many governors and the FCT minister had failed to fulfill their constitutional duty to safeguard lives and property.
The rights group argued that democracy demands accountability and transparency while the Nigerian Constitution prohibits secretive spending of public funds.
According to SERAP, the Nigerian Constitution (1999) as amended) never considered the use of public funds as security votes, noting that the citizen’s right to know promotes democracy and promotes democratic governance.
According to the lawsuit filed on behalf of SERAP by its attorneys Oluwakemi Agunbiade, Andrew Nwankwo, and Valentina Adegoke, secrecy surrounding security votes raises the possibility of money being stolen and used to détour public funds.

Gavin and Stacey “didn’t pay well,” according to Joanna Page (CNN/Toffee International Ltd./Tom Jackson).
Gavin and Stacey star Joanna Page admits that the hit BBC show “didn’t pay very well”. The 48-year-old made the revelation after admitting she once worked in a shoe shop after suffering a blow during her TV career.
Joanna launched her career in 1999 when she starred as Dora Spenlow in the BBC’s adaptation of David Copperfield. She later went to star as Judy in Richard Curtis’s Christmas flick Love Actually before landing the role of Stacey Shipman in Gavin and Stacey in 2007.
The mum-of-four admits that “money is unpredictable” as an actor and recalls one moment when both she and husband James Thornton saw their shows dropped by the BBC. She told the Mail on Sunday : “It was terrifying but we scraped through – me by working at a shoe shop, James by doing voiceovers. Then, luckily, we started getting acting work again.”
When Joanna and Matthew Horne first started appearing in the roles they were given, both of them admitted that Gavin Shipman and Horne were “complete and utter unknowns.” She revealed that neither of the pair had “silly money” when the show ended.
Gavin & Stacey didn’t do well at all, according to Joanna, “Co-star Mathew and I were recently laughing at how poorly they performed.”
The cast would have “done it for free,” she continued. Joanna claims that the show “paid well” after it first aired on the BBC, where she claims she began securing modeling contracts with make-up companies and landed roles in advertisements.
The 2024 Christmas special was one of the most watched programs of the century thanks to the success of Gavin and Stacey, which attracted almost 191 million viewers. However, BBC bosses have previously acknowledged that Larry Lamb, the show, saw it as an “experiment.”
He acknowledges that the cast wasn’t “in it for the money” and claims that James Corden and Ruth Jones had a “low budget” for the series.
He stated in an interview with the Mail in October that Gavin and Stacey were always working for very little money. No one was aware of how it would operate, so a limited budget was used right away.
“Everyone was in the same boat,” the statement read. You were doing it because you adored the project and the people, not because of the money.

Joanna, who studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (Rada), has previously acknowledged that her career would be hampered by her Welshness. She remarked, “I couldn’t believe it, when I spoke at the Cheltenham Literary Festival. I turned around and left, but I haven’t returned since.

Syed Asad Raza, a South Deputy Inspector General, reported to the Dawn newspaper that the death toll had increased from three to five. A statement from the medical complex The Edhi Foundation later confirmed a sixth death.
People are feared that they could still be trapped inside the mall, which is estimated to have around 1,200 shops. The intensity of the fire, according to the Edhi Foundation, hampered rescue efforts and caused a portion of the structure to collapse.
Initial investigations suggested the fire started as a result of a short circuit in one of the stores, according to Garden District police officer Mohsin Raza, who said the fire spread quickly throughout the complex.
He claimed that a thorough investigation would be required to establish the exact cause of the damage and that the structure must be secured to stop further damage.
Both Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and President Asif Ali Zardari expressed condolences for the deceased’s death.
Sharif directed authorities to take “all possible measures” to safeguard lives and property, assist affected traders, and provide medical care for the injured, according to a statement released by PTV.
Zardari urged the Sindh province’s government to offer “immediate and every possible assistance,” stating that “no stone should be left unturned in providing the best medical facilities to the injured.”
[Rizwan Tabassum/AFP] An initial investigation indicates a short circuit was the source of the fire.
After months of unrest, those close to the Beckham family have urged him, his wife, and his family to call it quits.

According to family insiders, Brooklyn Beckham is considering a resolution to her family feud (Getty Images for ARIA Resort &, C)).
For the best part of last year, the ongoing feud between Brooklyn Beckham and his family has been the main talking point among fans and industry insiders, the world over. And during this time, it is safe to say there was no sign of a white flag being raised by either Brooklyn or his billionaire wife, Nicola Peltz, as the Beckhams stood on the periphery, hoping for a reconciliation.
However, in a shocking turn of events, it appears that the Beckham clan’s eldest son may be thinking about ending a feud with his parents and siblings. Brooklyn may now be moving toward reconciliation behind closed doors after more than a year of unresponsiveness.
According to reports, a source close to the aspiring chef’s family has spoken out saying that while he will “at some point want to reconnect with his parents,” he will “at some point want to reconnect with his parents.”

A source told the Mail on Sunday: “Brooklyn wants to do anything to make Nicola happy, but this is all getting out of control. I can’t imagine a world where Brooklyn wouldn’t want to see his parents again.”
Brooklyn obviously wants to please Nicola, but maybe, just maybe, he’ll want to get back in touch with his parents at some point. Nothing would bring them joy.
Brooklyn has since split up with his entire family because he missed his dad’s birthday party, his daughter’s recent birthday party, and her Parisian fashion show, and has since unfollowed his family on social media.
Within that whirlwind of events, he not only failed to invite them to his vow renewal last year but also avoided spending Christmas with them. And this was the first time Brooklyn had stayed away during the festive season. Instead, he chose to spend it with his wife and posted their time together online.
This finally reached a halt and took a dramatic turn when his younger brother, Cruz, broke the family’s code of silence and spoke up about Brooklyn blocking his family on social media. Taking to his Instagram stories in light of reports that his parents were the ones who unfollowed his brother, he wrote: “NOT TRUE. My mum and dad would never unfollow their son… “
Let’s get the facts right, he continued. They both woke up blocked, just like I did. Victoria would occasionally contact her son on social media and like his posts despite not having any contact with him. However, as a result, Brooklyn issued a legal notice to his parents.
Brooklyn’s allegedly warning his parents to only contact him via his lawyers, which reportedly failed to put an end to the feud, on the news. His parents were advised not to use his social media tags in the legal notice.
After Victoria, who is best known for her role in The Spice Girls, liked his cooking video, she responded. However, the desist claimed that this was ruled to be in contravention of the law.
A source told The Sun that “he actually requested that they send them a letter at the end of last summer, asking that any correspondence only be handled by lawyers, and that he wanted to try to make amends privately, not publicly.”

He added that he believed his parents would continue to ignore his wishes and to postpone communication with him. Additionally, it was reported that the conflict has now spread globally.
Brooklyn is said to be close to both his maternal and paternal grandparents, despite not having a relationship with his siblings. He appears to no longer reside in contact with his ancestor’s Ramsay family. Despite being invited, Holly Ramsay skipped the wedding at the end of last year.
