Armed security personnel
comprising policemen and operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS)
had laid siege to the place on Monday afternoon.
The operatives restricted
movement on Sangha street, Maitama, where Melaye’s house is located. They
prevented four of the lawmaker’s colleagues from seeing him.
Abiodun Olujimi from Ekiti;
Philip Aduda, federal capital territory (FCT), Isa Misau from Bauchi and Atai
Idoko, Kogi were among the senators who visited Melaye’s residence.
We overheard one of them
saying they would mobilise protesters and in less than 30 minutes, people from
an internally displaced persons (IDP) camp in Abuja arrived.
The protesters asked the security
agents to vacate Melaye’s residence immediately, describing the lawmaker as
their benefactor.
Kuchingoro Emmanuel, leader of
the group, said that no individual had taken care of IDPs like in
Abuja Melaye.
“Melaye is our federal
government. He has taken good care of us. He is a good man,” he said.
