In a statement on Sunday, SERAP’s deputy director, Kolawole Oluwadare urged Buhari to ensure that those responsible were probed and prosecuted.
The group said Buhari’s government has 7 days to commence the probe or face legal action.
“As the President and substantive Minister of Petroleum Resources, you and your government need to prioritise getting to the root of these allegations and use the remainder of your term of office to ensure justice and accountability for these serious crimes against the Nigerian people”, the statement partly read.
