Atiku, PDP demand release of CUPP spokesman
have condemned the arrest of Ikenga Ugochinyere, the spokesperson of the Coalition of United Political Parties by the police and demanded his immediate release.Although the police are yet to publicly state the reason for his arrest, there are insinuations that Mr Ugochinyere’s detention is related to a controversial claim he made about the infectious diseases bill.
In May, a Federal High Court in Abuja, in a suit labelled, FHC/ABJ/CS/475/2020, barred the house committee from continuing with the hearing of the case against Mr Ugochinyere. “We are a nation governed by the rule of law and not of the jungle. Tyranny and dictatorship are inimical to a democratic order. I hereby call for the immediate release of the spokesman of CUPP, Barr. Ikenga Ugochinyere,” the former VP wrote on Twitter.
The party decried the arrest of the CUPP spokesman in defiance of a subsisting court order barring such, as an affront to the judiciary.
