We'll not retreat until Dino Melaye surrenders himself for arrest and investigation - Police

- The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has given an update on its operatives' wait at Senator Dino Melaye's residence

- The police continues to lay siege on the residence of the PDP senator for over 48 hours

- The NPF says the vocal senator is wanted for criminal conspiracy and attempted culpable homic*de

The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has given an update on its operatives' wait at Senator Dino Melaye's residence days after denying the claim.

The police continues to lay siege on the residence of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senator for over 48 hours.

The NPF says the Kogi-born senator is wanted for criminal conspiracy and attempted culpable homic*de.

The police in a statement sent to Legit.ng on Sunday, December 30, says its operatives' deployed to arrest Senator Melaye in his residence won't retreat until the PDP senator surrenders himself for arrest and investigation.

Part of the statement signed by police spokesman, DCP Jimoh Moshood read: “Senator Dino Melaye is wanted by the police for a case of criminal conspiracy and attempted culpable homic*de, committed on 19th July, 2018.

“Senator Dino Melaye and his armed thugs attacked police personnel; shot and wounded Sgt. Danjuma Saliu, attached to 37 Police Mobile Force (PMF) on stop and search duty along Aiyetoro Gbede, Mopa road in Kogi state.

“The police operatives with a duly obtained warrant of arrest deployed to arrest Senator Dino Melaye in his residence in Abuja will not retreat until Senator Dino Melaye surrenders himself for arrest and investigation.

“It is on record that the police investigators submitted a letter of invitation dated 23rd July, 2018, signed by the commissioner of police, Kogi state police command addressed to the Clerk, National Assembly, Abuja, inviting Senator Dino Melaye to report on 26th July, 2018 at 1100Hrs.

“The claim by the Senate President in the media that the police did not submit a letter of invitation to the Clerk of the National Assembly is therefore incorrect.”

The statement further noted that the police officer, Sgt. Danjuma Saliu, “is yet to recover from the gunshot injury he sustained during the attack and still under intensive medical care in the hospital.”

“The force will ensure a thorough investigation into this matter while making sure that the rule of law prevails and that no suspect no matter how highly placed, involved in any criminal matter escape justice,” the statement added.

Meanwhile, the PDP said on Sunday, December 30, that the only sin the senator representing Kogi West, committed was his return from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and determination to fight misrule.

The opposition party said with the continued lockdown on the residence of Senator Melaye by the police, “the Muhammadu Buhari presidency is turning Nigeria into a police state, where those opposed to President Buhari’s re-election are treated like enemies of the state.”

The party, in a statement signed by Kola Ologbondiyan, its spokesman, said the continued siege, “showed that the police under President Buhari, had become an instrument of oppression to subjugate dissenting voices ahead of the 2019 general election.”

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
