Controversial politician, Dino Melaye, claimed on Wednesday that operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) were heading to his hometown in Aiyetoro, Kogi State, to plant arms in his house.
Melaye, who is the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Senatorial candidate in Saturday’s rerun election in Kogi State, raised the alarm on his Twitter handle, after news emerged that SARS officials were leaving Lokoja for Aiyetoro.
