His arrest is at the instance of Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, SaharaReporters can confirm.
The Nigeria Police Force has arrested Ikenga Ugochinyere, spokesperson for the Coalition of United Political Parties.
Recall that a federal high court in Abuja barred the police and the Department of State Services from arresting Ugochinyere on June 4. In a suit with number FHC/ABJ/CS/475/2020, the court had earlier granted Ugochinyere’s prayer that the House of Representatives be barred from proceeding with its plan to hold a hearing on the allegation.
