The Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja has granted an unconditional release to spokesperson for the Coalition of United Political Party, Ikenga Ugochinyere.

The court Monday 22nd day of June also reinforced the first order by restraining the police from arresting him again.

However, despite the directive of the court, the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, is yet to comply with the order and release Ugochinyere.

Last week, a civil society group, Concerned Nigerians, had described the arrest and detention of spokesperson for the Coalition of United Political Parties, Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, as unconstitutional and a violation of the Nigerian constitution.

In a letter to the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, the group said Ugochinyere’s arrest was carried out in direct disrespect and disregard for court orders.

The letter, which was signed by Comrade Deji Adeyanju, Convener of the group, urged the IGP to comply with these rulings and order the immediate release of the CUPP spokesperson from detention.

The letter reads, “We are constrained to call your attention to an order given by Honourable Justice O. A. Musa of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja in the matter of Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere v Hon Femi Gbajabiamila & Ors, FCT/HC/BW/CV/120/2020, where the court reiterated the order of Justice Taiwo Taiwo of the Federal High Court and further restrained the Inspector-General of Police and the Director-General of the State.

Security Services either by themselves or through their servants or proxies from arresting Mr Ugochinyere pending the conclusion of the suit before it.

The below attached the court order.
