The controversies trailing the procurement of 360 sports utility vehicles (SUVs) by the House of Representatives has taken a new twist as Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has asked the Federal High Court in Lagos to restrain the lawmakers from procuring and taking delivery of cars.

SERAP is urging the court to put in place the interim order pending the hearing and determination of the applications for injunction filed by its lawyer to challenge, what it described as wasteful and insensitive.

The group also in an open letter sent to President Bola Tinubu on Saturday, urged him to put pressure on the leadership of the House of Representatives and stop members from taking delivery of 360 sports utility vehicles , pending the hearing and determination of the application for interim injunction.

It further maintained that unless President Tinubu exercised his executive powers and discharged his constitutional oath of office by acting as recommended, the lawmakers would go ahead to procure and take delivery of the N57.6 billion vehicles, and thereby present the court with a fait accompli.
