The Nigeria Police Force has called on the Senator representing Kogi West in the National Assembly, Dino Melaye, to surrender himself for arrest and investigation for attempted culpable homicide. The Police Force made the call on Monday in a statement issued by its spokesman, Jimoh Moshood.
He disclosed that Melaye had repeatedly spurned several invitations asking him to report for an investigation into the alleged shooting of one Sgt. Danjuma Saliu, attached to 37 Police Mobile Force while on stop-and-search duty along AiyetoroGbede, Mopa Road in Kogi State.
He claimed that Melaye and his armed thugs shot and injured Saliu who is currently on admission at the Federal Medical Centre, Lokoja.
“Melaye was asked to report on 26th July, 2018 at the Kogi State Police Command, CIID, Lokoja to answer to a case of criminal conspiracy and attempted culpable homicide against him under investigation in the Kogi State Police Command.
“The claim by the Senate President in the media that the Police did not submit a letter of invitation to the Clerk of the National Assembly is therefore incorrect as can be seen on the attached letter with acknowledgment stamp of the Clerk, National Assembly, Abuja, dated 24 July, 2018.”
