The police have whisked Dino
Melaye, senator representing Kogi west, to an unknown location.
Since he was arrested last week,
Melaye has been in a police hospital in Garki, Abuja, after he reportedly
slumped.
The police have accused Melaye of
culpable homicide and alleged that his supporters shot one Danjuma Saliu, a
police officer, in Kogi state on July 19.
Although the senator has been in
the hospital since his arrest, the police have said he is fit to stand trial.
According to TheCable, a source revealed on
Friday that Melaye is being moved contrary to the advice of some “medical
experts”.
The source said there is a
probability that he is being taken to Lokoja despite the fact that “the Kogi
judiciary is on strike”.
“Experts at the police hospital
told them [police] to take him to a more better hospital. They are taking him
to an unknown destination and it is against medical advise,” the source said.
“If it is Lokoja they are taking
him to, the Kogi state judiciary is actually on strike. They may just arrange
for one judge who will listen to them and will remand him in prison
indefinitely and that will go beyond election time.”
Another source said: “Police
stormed Melaye’s hospital today and they have taken to him an undisclosed
location. Nobody knows where they are taking him to.”
If the police are successful, it
will be the eighth time Melaye will be arraigned in court.
Another source also claims that suspected masked policemen on Friday invaded the Police Clinic where Senator Dino Melaye is taken treatment and whisked him away to an unknown destination.

He was believed to have been
taken to Lokoja, Kogi State, for interrogation over the alleged shooting of one
Sgt. Danjuma Aliu by suspected political thugs.
A close associate of the
lawmaker, who craved anonymity said Melaye was taken away from the
hospital around 2:15 pm Friday in commando style.
