Ben Murray-Bruce, the Senator
representing Bayelsa East constituency, has faulted the arrest of Senator Dino
Melaye, representing Kogi West.
The Senator representing Kogi
West was admitted into the hospital
after he attempted to escape from police custody on Tuesday.
Bruce had earlier called for the
immediate release of the embattled senator.
Reacting to the circumstances
surrounding Melaye’s arrest, the lawmaker writing on his Twitter page, wondered
what becomes of an ordinary Nigerian citizen in a democratic government if a
senator could be treated in such way.
He noted that the APC would not
have been here if PDP treated their members in such manner, adding that
opposition was good for democracy.
On his Twitter page, Bruce wrote
“You may think what is happening to Senator @dino_melaye is just his business,
but think deep about this.
“If a Senator can be treated like
this, who then can be spared? Opposition is good for democracy and if the PDP
had been this brutal, I wonder where the APC would have been.”
