Police Admit Invading Senator Dino Melaye’s Residence, Accuse Him Of Culpable Homicide

The police have admitted invading the Abuja residence of Dino Melaye, senator representing Kogi west.

Jimoh Moshood, police spokesman, in a statement on Friday evening beat a retreat from his earlier stand that the police was unaware of the invasion, saying the senator’s house was invaded to effect his arrest in “the case of attempted culpable homicide” against him, TheCable writes.

“The Police operatives currently in the residence of Senator Dino Melaye are to effect his arrest to answer to the case of attempted culpable homicide on the shooting of a Police Officer, Sgt Danjuma Saliu, attached to 37 Police Mobile Force (PMF) while on duty at a stop and search point along Aiyetoro Gbede, Mopa Road in Kogi State,” the statement read.

“The above offence was committed by Senator Dino Melaye and his armed thugs in Kogi State on the 19th July, 2018 when they shot and wounded a police officer, Sgt Danjuma Saliu, attached to 37 Police Mobile Force (PMF) while on duty at a stop and search point along Aiyetoro Gbede, Mopa Road in Kogi State.”

Moshood added the officer in question is still under “intensive medical care” following injuries sustained.

He said the police have written the clerk of the national assembly for Melaye to report at Kogi state police command for him to answer to the “offences” but he has “bluntly refused to report himself to the Police.”

“The Police operatives will continue to be in wait at the residence of Senator Dino Melaye until he surrenders himself for arrest.

“The offence for which Senator Dino Melaye is being investigated is capital in nature and not compoundable.”

The invasion comes after Melaye accused Ibrahim Idris, inspector-general of police, of plotting to kill him – a claim the police denied.

The Nigeria Police should make up its mind and do whatever it wants to do without all this unnecessary  prevabrications.  This attitude does not portray the Force as a Security Agency that knows its onions.  Pray,  does Melaye,'s house possess  such immunity that will prevent the Senathug  from being arrested,  what's the idiotic behaviour of several police vehicles surrounding a suspected cuprit's house when neither the culprit  nor the house is covered by any immunity in the location where the suspect is presently is.  It's all this ambivalent behaviour  that is giving the Nigeria Police Force as an Agency that is not serious.  Meanwhile,  Moshood  should compose himself before dishing out information concerning the Police,  he should desist from giving out conflicting information,  he should stablise himself and get his facts ready before confusing the Public.
