Senator representing Kogi West
District in the National Assembly, Dino Melaye, has spoken on the alleged
assassination attempt on his life on Thursday.
The Senator had arrived Kogi
State on Wednesday and was in his constituency to commission over 143 projects
scattered across the seven local government areas that formed the district.
On his way to Isanlu in Yagba
East local government council to commissioned some projects, some gunmen
prevented him from entering the town.
Melaye met road block with heavy
truck shortly before Isanlu as the gunmen also set up bonfire with tyres
blocking any one moving into the town.
The Senator, who noticed the
antics of the gunmen, turned back to Ayetoro-gbede with his entourage.
At Ayetoro-gbede, some uniformed
security personnel allegedly fired shots on his jeep.
Speaking on the alleged
assassination attempt, the lawmaker wrote on his Twitter handle: “I thank God
for sparing my life once again. Over 20 bullets holes on my jeep. Combination
of police, SARS and military. God I thank you.”
