The Nigeria police force have
denied invading the residence of Dino Melaye, senator representing Kogi west.
Both Jimoh Moshood, the force
spokesman, and Manzah Anjuguri, FCT police spokesman, revealed that they were
not aware of the police invasion.
Recall we had reported how policemen
numbering 30 invaded the Abuja residence of Melaye on Friday.
The incident happened three days
after the senator alleged that Ibrahim Idris, inspector-general of police, had
ordered that he should be “injected to death.”
They had first laid siege to
Sangha street, off Mississippi, Maitama, where the lawmaker’s house is, before
gaining entrance into his premises.
But the police denied knowledge
of the invasion which was ongoing as of the time this report was filed.
When contacted, Moshood said: “Why would they enter his residence? I am not aware of such I will
make inquiries and get back to you. I will check with the relevant quarters and
command.”
Anjuguri also said he
did not have any information regarding the incident.
“I don’t have any information on
that. I am not aware of it,” he said over the phone.
WHY MELAYE?
In March, the police declared the
senator wanted after accusing him of supplying arms to suspected hoodlums.
He was also charged with
attempted suicide after he jumped off a moving vehicle while trying to escape
police custody.
