A former lawmaker representing Kogi West at the Senate, Dino Melaye, on Wednesday, revealed that he and some members of the Peoples Democratic Party were attacked at the venue of the Kogi State governorship tribunal in Abuja.
The lawmaker on his Twitter page said the attackers were thugs sent by the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chairman in the State.
The attack allegedly occurred at the premises of Magistrate Court Wuse zone 2 Abuja.
He wrote, “I thank God 4 surviving massive attack targeted at me, at the venue of the Kogi State election tribunal sitting in Abuja.
“Thugs were led by Kogi state chairman of APC. My heart goes to all our agents & lawyers injured & receiving treatment at various hospitals. To God be the Glory.”
Melaye was defeated by Smart Adeyemi in a rerun election held in November last year and he’s also challenging the victory of Adeyemi at the tribunal.
