Melaye writes UN, EU, USA, AU, claims police planning to kill him

Dino Melaye, the senator representing Kogi West, has once again alleged a plot by the police to kill him.

Writing via his Twitter handle on Monday, Melaye said the police and Kogi government “want to forcefully take me to Lokoja and kill me afterwards”.

Melaye, who has been having a running battle with the police, has repeatedly made this allegation.

A number of cases against him are currently pending in court including culpable homicide, gun running and criminal conspiracy.

In the tweets, Melaye insisted claims of his attempted kidnap during his last court date were true.

He wrote, “Nigerian police working with Kogi state government in trying to frame me up again with culpable homicide and illegal possession of fire arm.

He added that those behind his ordeal will be “shocked because I know too much.”
