By Senator Dino Melaye has called out Nigeria Police Force for not standing up to the task to defend him when his house was under fire on Saturday when gunmen suspected to be assassins invaded his home at Ayetoro-Gbede in Ijumu Local Government Area, Kogi State.
It was gathered that the Kogi West lawmaker was was attacked by unknown gunmen in early hours of Saturday as he was home for the Easter celebration. He has since taken to social media to share pictures of bullet holes caused by the sporadic shooting. No one was recorded to be harmed through out the shooting.
Melaye chided the Police for not responding quickly to his distress call, saying that the house of the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in the town was a stone throw from the scene of the attempt on his life.
“The DPO did not come to my house until three hours later. Even the area Commander in Kabba was not notified until I called the Commissioner of Police”.
He however revealed that he suspects Taufiq Isa, the Sole Administrator of Ijumu LGA whom he said was not okay with his personality and was angered by the huge crowd that welcomed him when he landed on Friday. He also said the assassination attempt was a plot planned with the Police in the area.
“I suspect a satanic collaboration between Taufiq Isa and the police in Aiyetoro because the duo held a meeting two days ago.
“Only God will protect us in this country but definitely not the police”, he said.
