Writing via his Twitter handle on
Monday, Melaye said the police and Kogi government “want to forcefully take me
to Lokoja and kill me afterwards”.
The senator has been having a
running battle with the police.
Among the cases against him
currently pending in court are culpable homicide, gun running and criminal
conspiracy.
Recently, the senator’s relative
raised an alarm he was kidnapped on his way to a court in Kogi regarding one of
the cases.
In the tweets, the senator
described as ludicrous claims the purported kidnap was fabricated.
He wrote: “Nigerian police
working with Kogi state government in trying to frame me up again with culpable
homicide and illegal possession of fire arm.
“This is going to be the 6th
arraignment of police against me. They want to forcefully take me to Lokoja and
kill me afterwards. cc: UN,EU,USA,AU
“I was the one attacked by the
police, they tried to kill me, AIT reporter and other journalists were there …
To turn around and accuse harmless me of lies is rediculous.”
He added that those behind his
ordeal will be “shocked because I know too much.”
TheCable reached out to Jimoh
Moshood, police spokesman, to react to the allegation but he did not pick calls
and has not responded to a text message sent.
