Some members of the Nigerian police have invaded the Abuja residence of Dino Melaye, a senator representing Kogi west senatorial district.
The invasion of the lawmaker’s Abuja residence located at 11 Sangha street, off Mississippi, Maitama, took place some minutes after Midday today.
Presently, the street where his house is located has been cordoned off by security operatives with Toyota Hilux operational vehicles.
This comes three days after the senator alleged that Ibrahim Idris, inspector-general of police, had ordered that he should be injected to death.
Below are tweets by the Senator confirming the invasion:
All entrances to my residence in Mississippi have been secured by the police that claim there is no order to arrest me. One truck by centagon school too. Media and Nigerians take note. We have pictures of those involved.
