The President of the Senate, Dr
Bukola Saraki, says embattled Sen. Dino Melaye (APC-Kogi West) currently
receiving treatment at National Hospital, Abuja is in stable condition.
Saraki made the disclosure when
he visited the lawmaker at the Intensive Care Unit of the hospital on Wednesday
in Abuja.
Melaye, who sustained injury
during his arrest by security operatives on Tuesday, was earlier taken to the
Zankli Hospital, Abuja.
He was later transferred to
National Hospital by men of the Nigeria Police for treatment.
He is being interrogated by the
police in connection with sponsoring of political violence in Kogi and illegal
possession of firearms.
Saraki, who led some senators to
the hospital, said “we have seen Sen. Dino; he is in intensive care unit and he
is stable for now.
“He is on fluids; he is being
seen by cardiologists and all specialists.”
Saraki thanked the management and
staff of the hospital “for what they have done so far.
“He (Melaye) is stable and being
monitored. We pray for him to fully recover soon. He is not in handcuffs,”
Saraki said.
