"The latest findings in this plot against the CJN being the Chairman of the EFCC has been given the mandate to execute this plot and has been told there would be no margin for error or from life one way or the other," Ugochinyere said.

But the acting spokesperson of the EFCC, Tony Orilade, said he was not aware of any plans to arrest the Chief Justice, Walter Onnoghen.

"I don't have any information on any plan to arrest him. I am not aware of anything like that, Tony stated.

In a related development, the CUPP on Tuesday alleged that it had uncovered a plan by the Federal Government to force the suspended Chief Justice to resign "at gunpoint."

It said the decision was taken after Onnoghen turned down "all mouth-watering offers" made to him. Ugochinyere disclosed this in a statement in Abuja.

Ugochinyere also said that the government was making efforts to force some senior lawyers to withdraw from defending the Chief Justice of Nigeria.
