Senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye has reacted reacted to the statement by the Nigerian Police, Kogi state command over the midnight of his residence.
Melaye reacted through his special assistant on media, Gideon Ayodele, said the police was only being economical with the truth over the invasion of his residence.
He queried the rationale behind the action of the policemen in the middle of the night if truly they had come to arrest him as claimed
Ayodele said, “I think I will commend the police, especially the Kogi state command for even accepting that they invaded the residence of Senator Dino Melaye.
Funnily enough, the invasion was carried out around 1:30 am which gives more meaning to the invasion rather than a lawful arrest of an armless citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“It will equally interest Nigerians if the Kogi state command can produce the details of the said injured officer, his duty post and duty description. It is equally good to note that the police have withdrawn the police details attached to Senator Dino Melaye and the only armed men on the said trip were the men of the NSCDC.
“The police was surprised and shocked by the information that we have about their activities. They are equally aware that international community has been duly informed. That same Friday, Senator Dino passed through the main Lokoja township road leading to government house twice and the police did not attempt arresting him. The question is ”Why in the night?
“As far as Senator Dino Melaye is concerned, he will continue to do only those things that will promote unity and development of the state”.
