Oduah N255m car scandal: Dino Melaye re-arested

A couple of weeks after Dino Melaye was arrested for staging a protest against the purchase of two bullet proof cars at the rate of N255million for the Minister of Aviation, Ms. Stella Oduah. The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has re-arrested Hon.Dino Melaye.




Dino Melaye is the Executive Secretary of Anti-Corruption Network, a non-governmental organisation.

 The former lawmaker was taken to the FCT Police Command after his arrest by a Special Team led by one Patrick Ejoh, an Assistant Superintendent of Police.

The Police Public relations officer, PPRO, Daniels Altine, when contacted did not state if Dino Melaye was in their custody or not.

He said, “Dino Melaye was invited as a result of a petition written against him. Following Police procedure, when a petition is written against someone, the person is usually invited for questioning”.

In the Warrant of Arrest, the police officers, who arrived Melaye’s office at about 5.20 p.m., said they were arresting him for “criminal intimidation and threat to life.”

Na Wa Oh! Only in Nigeria we see such.
