Read the Full Press statement issued by the Nigerian Police on the matter;
UPDATE ON POLICE OPERATIVES’ WAIT AT THE RESIDENCE OF SENATOR DINO MELAYE
SENATOR
DINO MELAYE IS WANTED BY THE POLICE FOR CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY AND
ATTEMPTED CULPABLE HOMICIDE, COMMITTED ON 19th JULY, 2018, WHEN SENATOR
DINO MELAYE AND HIS ARMED THUGS ATTACKED POLICE PERSONNEL, SHOT AND
WOUNDED SGT DANJUMA SALIU ON STOP AND SEARCH DUTY ALONG AIYETORO GBEDE,
MOPA ROAD IN KOGI STATE.
· POLICE OPERATIVES DEPLOYED TO ARREST
SENATOR DINO MELAYE IN HIS RESIDENCE WILL NOT RETREAT UNTIL SENATOR DINO
MELAYE SURRENDERS HIMSELF FOR ARREST AND INVESTIGATION.
Senator
Dino Melaye is wanted by the Police for a case of Criminal Conspiracy
and Attempted Culpable Homicide, committed on 19th July, 2018, when
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.
2.
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.
3. 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 at the Kogi State Police Command, CIID,
Lokoja to answer to a case of Criminal Conspiracy and Attempted Culpable
Homicide against him under investigation in the Kogi State Police
Command. 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 as can be seen on attached letter with
acknowledgment stamp of the Clerk, National Assembly, Abuja “24 JUL
2018“. Despite this, Senator Dino Melaye bluntly refused to report
himself to the Police till date.
4. For avoidance of doubt,
attached to this Press Release are the copies of pictures of the shot
Police Officer, Sgt. Danjuma Saliu, the Police Invitation Letter
addressed to the Clerk of National Assembly, Abuja and the Medical
Report from the Federal Medical Centre, Lokoja, Kogi State, confirming
the admission of Sgt. Danjuma Saliu into the Hospital for treatment of
the gunshot injury he sustained from the attack by Senator Dino Melaye
and his armed thugs while on Stop and Search duty along Aiyetoro Gbede,
Mopa Road in Kogi State on 19th July, 2018.
5. 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.
6. 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.
