COVID-19: SERAP Asks Buhari To Convert Stolen Assets Into Isolation Centres
The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project has called for the conversion of seized stolen assets into facilities to isolate COVID-19 cases in the country.
It explained that this would provide safe and enabling environments for the treatment and care of infected people, as well as improve the government’s ability to respond to COVID-19 and reduce the threat posed by the disease. “Rather than begging Nigerians to donate their buildings as isolation centres, the authorities should identify, publish, and use confiscated assets as isolation centres, as a temporary measure.
“Using the confiscated assets as proposed would neither violate the accused’s right to property nor entail a duty to compensate. The proposal by the Minister of Health would pose unnecessary risks to public health.
Reducing health risks associated with Nigerians donating their buildings as isolation centres would complement the authorities’ objectives of ending COVID-19. SERAP’s request is also in line with the repeated public commitment by your government to provide details and locations of all recovered stolen public funds.
