The Federal Government has arraigned Senator
Dino Melaye before the FCT High Court, Abuja on two counts of giving false
information to the Police concerning an assassination attempt on his life.
In
the charge, Senator Melaye is accused of giving false information to the police
in order to frame the Chief of Staff to Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State,
Edward Onoja as
the architect of the assassination attempt at his hometown in Ayetoro-Gbede, in
Kogi State.
Additionally,
the police discovered the discrepancies in Melaye’s claim during the course of
investigating the Senator’s claim.
Some senators including Tayo Alasoadura, Bassey
Akpan, Obinna Ogba, Philip Aduda, Mao Ohuabunwa, Ben Murray-Bruce, Shehu Sani
among others were also in court in solidarity with the Kogi senator.
Recall that Melaye had during plenary last week alleged
that plans are on by the Federal Government to arraign him for allegedly
misleading the Police, insisting that it would not deter him from constructively
criticizing it when necessary.
