Nigerian Opposition Criticizes Government Over Youth's Coup Allegations

Opposition parties in Nigeria, including the ADC, NNPP, LP, and PDP, have condemned the federal government for arraigning Innoc Onukwum, a 27-year-old youth, over alleged coup-related tweets. They argue that the prosecution reflects a lingering military mentality in the country and raises worries about the state of democracy and freedom of speech.

The APC-led administration is accused of failing to uphold democratic principles, with concerns raised about a potential return to military rule. The move has sparked debates on the harsh economic realities faced by Nigerians and the seriousness of the young man's comments.
