Senator Dino Melaye has reacted
to allegations by the police that he hired two political thugs and armed them
to cause mayhem in Kogi State.
The Force Public Relation
Officer, Jimoh Moshood on Monday paraded two suspects, who he said were
arrested after a gun battle with the police team on the 19th January, 2018.
Moshood told journalists at the
command headquarters in Lokoja that the two suspects upon interrogation
confessed to be working as political thug for Alhaji Mohammed Audu and Senator
Dino Melaye.
Reacting, Melaye described the
allegations as lies and laughable.
He accused Kogi State government
of being too desperate to blackmail him at any cost.
“Fabricated lies by Kogi State
Govt and the police will fail. It’s utterly laughable and preposterous. It’s a
sign of desperation.
“No amount of lies and blackmail
will detract my attention from speaking the truth and defending it”, the
embattled Senator tweeted.
The lawmaker had earlier accused
the Inspector General of Police, IGP, Ibrahim Idris of trying to kill him
following his directive to withdraw police from Very Important Persons, VIPs.
