Bello, Governor of Kogi State, has reacted to the travails of Senator from his
state, Dino Melaye, in the hands of security operatives.
Bello said he read the ordeals of the
Kogi West Senator in the media as the “law enforcement agencies are carrying
out their lawful duties.”
Bello said, “I read it in the news and watch it on television as law
enforcement agencies are carrying out their normal lawful duties and that is
all I can say about that.”
The governor also stated that members of
the All Progressives Congress, APC, were determined to support President
Muhammadu Buhari to continue providing “purposeful” leadership.
“As for the party, we have a strong and
purposeful leader in the person of President Muhammadu Buhari who is giving us
leadership and direction and everyone of us in APC will align with him one
hundred percent,” he said.
Melaye is currently under investigation
by the Nigeria Police Force.
Just last week, the Senator was alleged to have jumped off a police van
in Abuja while being transported to Kogi State to face criminal
charges.
Following the incident, the lawmaker
sustained injuries and is currently at the intensive care unit of the National
Hospital in Abuja.
