The case between Senator Dino Melaye and the Nigerian Police is far from over. The Nigerian Police after the Senator was arraigned in an Abuja Magistrate Court and was said to have been granted bail of N90m by the said Court, was again rearrested by the police upon allegedly meeting his bail condition.
The move by the police have been criticized by some Nigerians and other Senators, but being those with valuable information not available to the general public, as to what is actually happening between the Police and the Senator Representing Kogi West, the Nigerian Police has since given an explanation as to why the Senator was rearrested.
The spokesperson for the police Mr Jimoh Moshood while giving an explanation as to why Police rearrested the Senator, said:
Senator Dino Melaye was arraigned in court by the Police today, 2nd May, 2018 at Chief Magistrate Court, Wuse, Abuja for criminal conspiracy, causing damage to Government property, attempted suicide and escape from lawful custody. His arraignment in Court today was subsequent to his discharge from the National Hospital after he was confirmed fit for trial.
It will be recalled that, on the 24th April, 2018, at about 1200Hrs, Sen. Dino Melaye while in lawful custody of the Nigeria Police Force and being taken for arraignment for Conspiracy and Unlawful Possession of Prohibited Firearms in Court in Lokoja, from Abuja, escaped from lawful custody when hoodlums and miscreants in Two (2) Toyota Hilux Vehicles blocked the Police vehicle conveying Senator Dino Melaye around Area 1 Round About, Abuja and in the process the Senator broke the side glass of the vehicle and jumped out of the Police bus through the window and was rescued from the Police men by hoodlums and miscreants to an unknown destination before he was rearrested at Zankli Hospital in Abuja later in the day on same date. This case was investigated and that is why the Senator was arraigned in court today.
“Meanwhile, the Police Investigation Team re-arrested Senator Dino Melaye today, 2nd May, 2018 after his arraignment at Chief Magistrate Court, Wuse for the pending offences of Criminal Conspiracy and Unlawful Possession of Prohibited Firearms already filed in a Court of competent jurisdiction in Lokoja for which he will be arraigned without further delay.”
The battle clearly is not over for Senator Dino Melaye and the police…but I wonder what is in Lokoja that Dino is allegedly refusing to go…abi no bi him state again ni?..lol
