The National Co-Spokesman for the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP), Comrade Mark Adebayo has alleged that there is an underground plan to lynch the Spokesman of the Coalition, Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere.

Adebayo in a statement issued on Saturday claimed that the CUPP spokesman’s house has been surrounded and being shot while he and his supporters are under serious gun attacks.

Ikenga is the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) House of Representatives candidate for Ideato Federal Constituency in Imo State.

Adebayo, while calling on all security agencies to rise in the protection of his colleague, claimed that he has received several text messages from the spokesman.

“I have received disturbing texts from my colleague, Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, that he and his supporters are under attack and his house is being shot into and about to be set ablaze.

“Nigerians would remember that an aide to the incumbent Imo state Governor, Hope Uzodinma recently threatened Ikenga for which the latter raised alarm about his safety.

“One would have expected the Police authorities to invite the persons involved and thorough investigation carried out with a view to arresting and prosecuting the culprit but nothing like that has happened. As I speak, I can’t reach my colleague again after sending those desperate messages.

"Should anything happen to Ugochinyere, we shall hold the Imo state governor and his aides responsible for it.

“I’m immediately filing an official petition with the international community on this dastardly development which I condemn in its entirety and I call on the IGP to send in his men to rescue my colleague and his people immediately. Every second counts now,” the statement read.(Independent)
