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.”

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
