The lawmaker, who surrendered to the police on Friday, was reportedly rushed to a police clinic in Garki Area 1 of Abuja, after he was arrested and taken to SARS Headquarters.
According to Channels Tv, a police officer, who confirmed the incident, said Senator Melaye is currently on bed rest as the police determine their next line of action.
According to him, the police’s expectation is that as soon as the lawmaker recovers, he will return to detention.
An Abuja High Court had on Thursday, refused an ex-parte application brought by Melaye, to order the removal of police blockage on his residence.
Melaye came out of hiding one day after human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, advised him to surrender.
The lawmaker has been accused of culpable homicide, an allegation he has denied.

Okay..let APC busy themselves with this while election is around the corner.
ReplyDeleteDid you watch the video of how he left his house and arrived the police? Did you know that the police wrote to the National Assembly on the shooting of the police? And requested actions against Dino?

DeleteIf he truly killed someone then he should pay for his crimes.
ReplyDeleteOscar winner Dino 😂😂...
ReplyDeleteThe police shouldn't act as if they are vindictive or were compelled to strangle the oppositions. If Dino Melaye is guilty, then let him serve his punishment accordingly. They should be careful else they kill him before the trial commence.
ReplyDeleteDid you follow the whole events at all? If not, better don’t say anything. The police that was shot is less of a human to Dino right? His life has no worth right?
Deleteanonymous, no man should be guilty until proven so!
DeleteI've seen your comments up there I just decided not to reply only for me to see this one.
Dino is dramatic, yes we agree but since the opposition got wind of his defection even when it was still a secrecy, that was when his trial started. Don't get it twisted,theres more than meet the eye to this case but if you choose to continue to believe your ignorance, so be it.
You actually didn't read my comment very well. If you do then you will understand that I didn't support Dino's act. But again, I want to let you know that there are many police officers that killed civilians intentionally without any crime committed and go scotfree. Do they have a different law guiding them? I believe if Dino Melaye was still in APC, they would have cover up this act as not to expose one of their own.
DeleteDo you know in Port Harcourt, an APC chieftain killed a man and masterminded another attempted assassination but today he isn't harass the same way Dino Melaye is being harassed. The chieftain even goes with army escort.
Our law should be binding on all and there should be no preference on anyone.
What is this boy saying? Are you well at all? This is an attempted murder case and you are typing nonsense. Did you see pictures and video of the police at the hospital?
DeleteAnonymous 7:56,were you a witness?Your likes are the reason this country is almost gone.You and your government should continue chasing Dino Upandan like he holds your breaths,but God got him.What about his own version,that the police suddenly started shooting at them,evidenced on his car with all the bullet holes.Let me tell you,Dino is not the problem of this country but your wicked government and their evil witchhunt.Just remember that a government can never be bigger than a whole country.By God's grace,their time is up.Oginidi!Dino this Dino that all the time.They no dey tire?nawahoooo
Delete@uberhaute, firstly, thanks for accepting how dramatic and drama king Dino is. Secondly, yes, a person is innocent until proven guilty. And the ball was in dino’s Court to prove himself but he played away his chances. This was even before his defection. Not before the secrecy of his plans to defect. The shooting of a policeman was last year in the month of July in his Senatorial district. This was even after he was implicated together with the son of Prince Abubakar Audu for organizing five guys who went on a killing spree in Lokoja. Don’t forget that the phone conversation between him and Audu’s son was on Sahara Reporters’ website. Was he invited several times by the police? Did he honour any? They were forced to embarrass him. Was it not that time he formed the lies about him climbing tree where people like you believed?
DeleteAs for the case against him now, the police sent a letter to the National Assembly hinting them about the charges against Dino. Watch the highlighted news of yesterday on Dino’s case on Channels TV you will find the detailed procedures taken by the police on the case. Dino was invited several times to the police to clear himself but he refused to honour the invitations. Even this last time before his house was surrounded by police, he claimed to be out of Abuja and That he would report to them upon his return to Abuja. Lo and behold, he was not anywhere but in the same house he claimed not to be in. His ex parte plea was thrown away by the court. Perhaps it is you that is feasting on ignorance and dramas of Dino which leaves you unable to come to term with how the events are playing out. No one has arrested a person with clean hands. If Dino committed a crime, he isn’t to big to be brought to book. It doesn’t matter if others did and are yet to be brought to book.
As for teejay, I would have loved to respond in details to your references but after going through your points, I see that your argument is like the person saying that if we cannot arrest Shina Rambo, then there isn’t any need to arrest Anenih. You are making the argument of two wrongs making a right. The way you mentioned an APC chieftain killing and masterminding murder is the same way we can also mentions NAMES of pdp members who organized and/or are fingered in the murder of APC chieftains and members in Rivers state and are yet to be arrested or harassed, to use your word. But making the argument of not arresting a police, PDP and APC chieftain is just another foolish way of how we Nigerians excuse murder and other criminal offences. It is the same way you call for the arrest and charges against Amaechi, Tinubu but not Theodore Orji, Wike, and those you support. This kind of thought is so petty. You are the one who keeps making the comment that Nigeria is irredeemable. How can when the people who make up Nigeria make the kind of arguments you are making!!!? But yes, i agree with you that “our law should be binding on all and there should be no preference on anyone.” And that can only be done if our arguments are not based on comparing two wrongs. What is wrong is wrong! Thank you.
Nina, you too no be Government? Yes, Dino is not the problem of this country, but know that he is ONE or part of the problems just like you too. No, God got him not. What is his own version of the events? The one he ran to climb the tree? Or the one he called the police that he was not in Abuja but later came out of that same house? Or the fake collapsing which he staged? Is it that kind of person who is honest with a sincere version to be believed? Well, for people like you, it should be believed. As long as anything is against this government, it is true for people like you. But it goes beyond supporting or attacking the government because we are all the government and we make up the country. Whether Dino supports this government or not, it doesn’t matter. If he has a call to answer, then he should face it. You are the one defending his crime because you only see it as witch-hunting. But that is in your world of illusion.
DeleteAnon, I hope you champion every other 'just cause' with the same energy.
DeleteI was laughing so loud while watching the video and Dino’s drama. No one even touched him. He was just fooling himself. I pity Nigerians who will buy this comedy again after that I ran and climbed on top of a tree story. Dino deserves some Oscar award.
ReplyDeleteDon’t mind the fool. He first claimed that he was not in Abuja that he will report him dey when he returns. But how come he came out of his Abuja house where the police were? Very funny.
