Senator Dino Melaye, the lawmaker
representing Kogi West, has lamented his travails under the President Muhammadu
Buhari-led federal government.
The lawmaker, who decried his
alleged maltreatment under the Buhari government, pointed out that he was never
framed up for fighting the immediate past President Goodluck Jonathan.
Melaye stated this in an
Instagram post on Sunday while sharing some photographs of himself and some
youths protesting against alleged corruption under the immediate past
administration.
“I was never framed up for
fighting Jonathan.Never arraigned! Aluta continua victoria asata,” he wrote.
Melaye, who is currently involved
in a face-off with the Nigeria Police Force, was reported to had jumped off a
police van in Abuja, while being conveyed to Lokoja to face criminal charges.
The lawmaker subsequently
developed health challenges and was admitted at the National Hospital in Abuja.
After receiving treatment for
some days, the police had taken Melaye to Lokoja, where he was arraigned on a
stretcher over alleged unlawful possession of arms alongside two others in Kogi
State.
The Kogi Chief Justice, however,
ordered the lawmaker to be remanded in police custody and be returned to the
National Hospital in Abuja.
However, the Kogi State High
Court sitting in Lokoja, on Wednesday granted Melaye bail.
The Kogi State Chief Judge,
Justice Nasiru Ajana admitted Melaye to bail in the sum of N10m with one
surety. The bail was granted on health grounds.
