Senator Dino Melaye was, Tuesday, docked by the police over allegations bordering on attempted suicide, attempt to escape from custody and damage of police property.

Mr. Melaye was arraigned before
Justice Silvanus Oriji of a Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court
in Apo on a six-count charge.

The senator, however, denied the charge and was subsequently admitted to a N5m bail with two sureties in like sum stands.

The
prosecuting counsel, Dr Alex Izinyon (SAN), had told the court that the
defendant committed the alleged offences on April 24. He said Dino,
while being conveyed in a police vehicle to Lokoja, forced his way out
and escaped.

Izinyon further said that the defendant sat on the
ground, holding a substance in one hand threatening to drink it to kill
himself so that he can put the police officers in trouble.

He also said that the defendant broke the glass of the vehicle with his elbow and caused damage to police property.
