The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has raised an alarm over alleged intelligence received about a grand plot to frame Hon. Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, the spokesperson for the G60 opposition lawmakers, with fabricated charges of murder, rape, kidnapping, gun running, and other crimes. A statement from the CUPP stated that the alleged plot is reportedly linked to Ugochinyere’s stance on the Rivers State Crisis and his defence of democratic principles and intra-party procedures. The CUPP has urged the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) police commissioner, Ben Igwe, and the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to investigate the intelligence and ensure that no police unit is involved in any plot to frame Ugochinyere. He is also a ranking member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), the ruling party in Rivers State.
