CUPP alleges move to arrest Justice Onnoghen on Tuesday

Opposition parties on Friday said they have uncovered a plan by
the Federal Government to arrest the embattled Chief Justice of
Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, on Tuesday.

The spokesperson of the Coalition of United Political Parties,

He added that arrangements had been concluded to immediately
