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, Imo Ugochinyere, disclosed this at a press conference in Abuja.

Ugochinyere said the arrest would be carried out shortly after a bench warrant would have been issued by the Code of Conduct Tribunal against Onnoghen.

He added that arrangements had been concluded to immediately name Justice Tanko Muhammed as acting CJN. – Punch
