CNPP Warns Against Alleged Plot To Arrest Ugochinyere, Says Move An Attack On Democracy

LEADERSHIP reports that the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) had raised the alarm over alleged intelligence received by the Opposition of a grand plot by a highly placed actor in the Rivers State political crisis to use the Police Force to frame up the opposition federal lawmaker and G60 legislators’ spokesperson, Hon. Ugochinyere, with fabricated charges of murder, rape, kidnap, gun-running and other crimes over his stance on Rivers State political crisis, defence of democracy and principles of decent intra-party procedures.

Reacting to the development, the CNPP in a statement signed by its Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Comrade James Ezema, strongly warned that the plot, if carried out, could lead to unfathomable political instability and breach of the peace.

“The development raises serious concerns about the erosion of democratic values and the suppression of free speech.
