**Sweep under the carpet compromise of voters register
The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has raised the alarm over an alleged conspiracy by police with support from Imo APC government to use Imo Anti-kidnap unit to abduct and silence opposition chieftains.
Co-Spokesperson of CUPP Comrade Mike Adebayo who made the allegations in a statement on Monday, said their main targets are the opposition spokesperson Ideato North South PDP Reps candidate, Ikenga Ugochinyere and Labour Party Candidate for Orlu/Orsu/Oru federal constituency, Hon. Geff Ojinika.
He alleged further that their plan is to abduct the opposition leaders, frame them up before an arranged magistrate in Owerri, Imo to help cover the compromise of voter register called ‘omuma’ magic where fake names were uploaded into the register.
According to CUPP, this move is to silence the opposition parties from exposing more shocking details on those who compromised the voters register and plot to rig the 2023 election.
The Coalition fingered the police heirarchy in cohoots with the Government of Imo, as the mastermind of the plot.
The CUPP urged Police IG to show his readiness to be trusted to police a free and fair elections by ensuring that Imo Police command is not aiding any vested interest of the ruling APC in the State it its plot to silence the truth about the voters register compromise.
CUPP vowed that any attempt to abduct any of its leaders will highly be rejected, and will not be intimidated into silence.
The statement reads, “I have confirmed that the Nigerian Police and Imo Police Anti-kidnap Unit in particular are planning to abduct me and Hon.Geff Ojinika and use trumped-up charges before a magistrate court to silence the Opposition from exposing more shocking details on those who compromised the voters Register and perfected an evil plot to rig the 2023 election which would have thrown Nigeria into Election related violence.
“The voters register is a public document meant to be pasted publicly as stipulated in the Electoral Act and not a secret document. The Police IG must show his readiness to be trusted to police a free and fair elections by ensuring that Imo Police command is not aiding Uzodinma Imo APC government in their plot to silence the truth about the voters register compromise.
“How can we have a police force that instead of going after criminals who compromised the Voters register is busy looking for the source of the leakage of the information that has saved democracy.
Voters Register is a Publicly document for display as required by Section 19 of the Electoral Act and not a secret document. This action of the Police is embarrassing and can destroy the credibility of the 2023 election. The question on the lips of every Nigerian is whether the Nigeria Inspector General of Police is aware of this developments?”
