Police Replies Dino; 'Your Statement Constitute A Criminal Defamatory Offence, Hate Speech And Hateful Conduct'



The Nigeria Police has debunked the allegations by Senator Melaye Dino that the Inspector General of Police has ordered his arrest and inject him to death. 

In a press release by the Force Public Relations Officer, Ag DCP Jimoh Moshood,  he said that Senator Dino's statement is mischievous, malicious, capable of misleading the public and laughable, there was no such order from the Inspector General of Police or any plan by the Force to arrest Senator Dino Melaye and inject him to death but if the Senator knows he had committed any crime or he is aware of his involvement in any crime, he should come out and confess and face the legal consequences instead of whipping up sentiments to distract the public.

The Police Spokesperson further said that the Force sees such defamatory, mischievous, malicious and reckless statement by Senator Dino Melaye as untrue, ridiculous, mischievous and unfortunate. 

He called on the members of the public to disregard and discountenance the statement by Senator Dino Melaye in its entirety as untrue and mischievous.

"Senator Dino Melaye is hereby called upon to know that his statement constitute a criminal defamatory offence, hate speech and hateful conduct. He should however as a law maker be law abiding and desist from un-senatorial and lawless utterances that cannot be substantiated with facts.

"The Inspector General of Police will not be distracted by statements from the likes of Senator Dino Melaye but will continue to ensure that the rule of law prevails in all matters, the statement concluded.
