The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has formally rejected the judgment issued by the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja regarding a defamation lawsuit amounting to N5.5 billion, which was brought against the organization by two officials of the Department of State Services (DSS). SERAP characterized the ruling as "seriously flawed," indicating their intention to challenge the decision. The case has drawn significant attention, highlighting ongoing tensions between civil society organizations and government agencies in Nigeria. Further actions from SERAP in response to the ruling are anticipated as they seek to uphold their stance on the matter.
