Police investigators have written the Clerk of the National Assembly for
Senator Dino Melaye to report at Kogi State Police Command, CIID, Lokoja for
him to answer to these offences against him under investigation in Kogi State
Police Command but he has bluntly refused to report himself to the Police.
“The
Police operatives will continue to be in wait at the residence of Senator Dino
Melaye until he surrenders himself for arrest. The offence for which Senator

highly placed. The law must take its course.
