Mike Ozekhome, the lawyer
representing embattled Kogi State senator, Dino Melaye, has opened up on the
trial of his client.
Dino Melaye had on Thursday
appeared before a Kogi court over alleged criminal conspiracy.
He was consequently remanded in
Police custody till June 11.
Ozekhome, a Senior Advocate of
Nigeria, SAN, while speaking with Premium Times, said the decision of the court
was for the Inspector-General of Police to “take adequate care of the
defendant.”
“What happened was that the
prosecution asked the court to remand him in prison, but the judge refused and
rather said the Inspector-General of Police should take care of Mr. Melaye
until he fully recovers.”
“The police will have no
alternative but to return Mr Melaye to the National Hospital Abuja, especially
since hospitals in Kogi State are all on strike”.
As at time of filling report, the
media aide to embattled senator Dino Melaye,Gideon Ayodele has said that his
principal is currently at the Police Medical Centre in Lokoja, the Kogi State
capital.
