Dino Melaye, senator-representing
Kogi west, has been denied bail by a magistrate court in Lokoja, Kogi state
capital. He was charged with conspiracy and aiding of jailbreak.
The lawmaker was brought to court in a police ambulance around
9:17 am. Before his arrival, heavily armed police officers had taken positions
within and outside the court premises.
Journalists and other person’s that had seated in court for hours
were all asked to go out for security checks.
At the end, only few were allowed inside.
He was brought in a Toyota Hiace police ambulance bus with
registration number NPF2214D.
Before being brought to court, the senator was taken to the SARS
headquarters near the NTA office in Lokoja.
Melaye was declared wanted following his refusal to appear before
the police to answer to accusations by some arrested suspects, who alleged that
the senator supplied them with arms and ammunition.
