Senator Dino Melaye finally surrendered to the Nigeria Police Force after eight days siege on his Abuja residence. The controversial senator was arrested to answer to the case of attempted culpable homicide.

He is facing interrogation by the police team probing his involvement in the shooting of a policeman by thugs embedded in a convoy of the senator on July 19, 2018, in Kogi state.

Senator Melaye had refused to leave his residence, prompting more deployment by the police to his house.

A request by Kogi-born senator for police officers to vacate his residence and desist from further attempts at arresting him was on Thursday, January 3, declined by a Federal High Court in Abuja.
