CUPP claims that Hon. Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, spokesman for a group of 60 opposition lawmakers, is being targeted due to his stance on the political crisis in Rivers State and his advocacy for democracy.
The coalition, representing opposition parties in Nigeria, has called on the Inspector General of Police and the Federal Capital Territory police commissioner to investigate the matter.
In a statement, CUPP spokesman Mark Adebayo said the group had received intelligence about the alleged plot and warned that any attempt to frame Ugochinyere would bring much public disdain and condemnation.
