A political activist, Timi Frank, has asked the Inspector
General of Police Mohammed Adamu, to withdraw the stringent bail conditions
placed on the detained Ikenga Ugochinyere, Coalition of United Political
Parties (CUPP) spokesman.
In a statement on Saturday, Frank said the police boss knew
that no serving Permanent Secretary will be bold enough to stand for an
opposition leader.
Frank said the police authority had violated the law by
arresting Ugochinyere despite a valid court order.
He recalled that in May, a Federal High Court in Abuja, in
suit FHC/ABJ/CS/475/2020, barred the House of Representatives from continuing
with the hearing of the case against Ugochinyere.
Frank said the police is Nigeria Police Force and not the
National Assembly or APC Police Force, hence the IGP should obey the court
order.
“I call on the @PoliceNG to urgently review the bail condition
given to Ikenga, and respect the court order restraining the police from
arresting him”, he tweeted.
“This is an attempt to silence the voice of the opposition.
If the APC National Assembly leadership doesn’t have anything to hide, then
they should go to Court,” Frank said.
He warned that if Ugochinyere is not released, he would
report IG of Police to the International Criminal Court (ICC) and also ask that
a visa ban should be placed on the police boss.
Frank urged him not to allow himself to be used by
politicians who will not be in the office forever.
“I also demand that the police authority should tender a
public apology for this illegal arrest”, he added.
