The Police on Wednesday said Senator Dino Melaye was only feigning illness to frustrate his prosecution for multiple criminal charges.
Police spokesman, Jimoh Moshood stated this in a statement he released on the Melaye’s saga.
According to the statement in which the police justified the re-arrest of Melaye, it said the National Hospital had given the Kogi West senator a clean bill of health, and he was only faking being ill to avoid prosecution.
The statement read in part: “The Police Investigation Team re-arrested Senator Dino Melaye today, 2nd May, 2018 after his arraignment at Chief Magistrate Court, Wuse for the pending offences of Criminal Conspiracy and Unlawful Possession of Prohibited Firearms already filed in a Court of competent jurisdiction in Lokoja for which he will be arraigned without further delay.”
