Senator Dino Melaye

A police officer, Sgt Danjuma Saliu, was alleged to have been shot
while on duty by the senator and his armed thugs on July 19 in Kogi
state.

A statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, Mr Jimoh Moshood,
said that Melaye was being arrested to answer to the case of attempted
culpable homicide.

The police officer,Moshood said, was on duty at a stop and search point along Aiyetoro Gbede, Mopa Road in Kogi State.

“ The Police Officer is yet to recover from the gunshot injury he
sustained during the attack and still under intensive medical care.

“The Police investigators have written the Clerk of the National
Assembly for Senator Dino Melaye to report at Kogi State Police Command,
CIID, Lokoja for him to answer to these offences against him under
investigation in Kogi State Police Command but he has bluntly refused to
report himself to the Police.

“The Police operatives will continue to be in wait at the residence
of Senator Dino Melaye until he surrenders himself for arrest.

“The offence for which Senator Dino Melaye is being investigated is capital in nature and not compoundable.

“The Force will not tolerate attack on its personnel by any
individual no matter how highly placed. The law must take its course.

“ Members of the public will be kept informed on further development in the investigation of the matter,’’ he said.
