rumour of his arrest in Lokoja, Kogi State by the police as he attended the
eight days fidau prayer of the late Buba Jibril , a federal lawmaker
representing Lokoja Kogi Koton Karfe who died lat week Thursday.
The embattled senator arrived the
venue of the event on the convoy of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki at

their leave from the venue of the prayer ground.
Before leaving the venue, Melaye
waved his supporters as they hailed him.
